Salary in Johannesburg after tax?

Hi Yasmine

It's always best to refer this kind of thing to a tax advisor. If I were you, I'd have a look at the South African Revenue Services (SARS) website. Being an expat paying tax in South Africa can get complicated, which is why it is best to speak to a professional in the field.

In the tax year ending 28 February 2014, SARS will deduct 132 894 ZAR in tax from people earning between 358 111 ZAR and 500 941 ZAR, plus an extra 38% of everything you earn above 500 940 ZAR. Even with this, you should still be able to rent a nice apartment and have a good standard of living.

For more information, have a look at our Cost of Living in South Africa page as well as our Accomodation in Johannesburg page.

Hope this helps,

Xavier
