Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer R 4 to pay you R 306. In other words, every time you spend R 10 of your hard-earned money, R 2.55 goes to the government.
Real tax rate

So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 24.2% tax rate now rises to 25.2%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 1% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary

Si vous gagnez un salaire brut de R 637 000 par an en South Africa, vous serez imposé de R 154 878. Cela signifie que votre salaire net sera de R 482 122 par an, ou R 40 177 par mois. Votre taux d'imposition moyen est 24.3% et votre taux d'imposition marginal est 39.2%. 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 39.2, par conséquent, votre salaire net augmentera seulement de R 60.8.
