If I earn R1500 a week how much tax would my employer deduct from me?

Posted 29 October 2012

I earn R1500 a week, want to know how much I will be taxed and if I even need to pay taxes.

You will need to be taxed as you are over the taxable threshold of R63 556. Your employer will deduct R50 in tax each week and R15 for unemployment insurance. So your take home would be R1 435 each week.
