Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer R 6 002 125 to pay you R 600 000 003. In other words, every time you spend R 10 of your hard-earned money, R 4.60 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
45.5%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 45% tax rate now rises to 45.5%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 0.5% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make R 600 000 003 a year living in South Africa, you will be taxed R 269 820 674. That means that your net pay will be R 330 179 329 per year, or R 27 514 944 per month. Your average tax rate is 45.0% and your marginal tax rate is 45.0%. 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 45, hence, your net pay will only increase by R 55.
