How your tax is worked out
Your employer annualises your salary (R 92 000 × 12 = R 1 104 000) and applies the SARS table. R 1 104 000 falls in the 41% bracket, so the tax is R 259 783 + 41% of the amount above R 887 000 = R 348 753.
After the primary rebate of R 17 820, that's R 330 933 for the year, or R 27 577,75 PAYE a month.
Your marginal rate is 41%: that's the tax on any increase, overtime or bonus. Your average rate is only 30,0%, because the lower parts of your income are taxed less or not at all.
