Summary
If you make R 1 001 000 a year living in South Africa, you will be taxed R 300 346. That means that your net pay will be R 700 654 per year, or R 58 388 per month. Your average tax rate is 30.0% and your marginal tax rate is 41.0%. 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 41, hence, your net pay will only increase by R 59.
