Total tax paid
R 60
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer R 4 to pay you R 256. In other words, every time you spend R 10 of your hard-earned money, R 2.34 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
23.1%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 21.9% tax rate now rises to 23.1%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 1.2% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary

Si vous gagnez un salaire brut de R 533 000 par an en South Africa, vous serez imposé de R 117 410. Cela signifie que votre salaire net sera de R 415 590 par an, ou R 34 632 par mois. Votre taux d'imposition moyen est 22.0% et votre taux d'imposition marginal est 37.4%. Ce taux d'imposition marginal signifie que votre revenu supplémentaire immédiat sera imposé à ce taux. Par exemple, une augmentation de R 100 à votre salaire sera imposé de R 37.4, par conséquent, votre salaire net augmentera seulement de R 62.6.
