Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer R 5 905 to pay you R 378 000. In other words, every time you spend R 10 of your hard-earned money, R 1.94 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
19.1%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 17.8% tax rate now rises to 19.1%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 1.3% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make R 378 000 a year living in South Africa, you will be taxed R 67 287. That means that your net pay will be R 310 713 per year, or R 25 893 per month. Your average tax rate is 17.8% and your marginal tax rate is 30.5%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate. For instance, an increase of R 100 in your salary will be taxed R 30.48, hence, your net pay will only increase by R 69.52.
