I was dismissed and my pension is around R26 000, so after tax how much will I get?



How much will I keep after being taxed R26 000 of my pension?

I don't understand because they say you taxed 18% of your pension if it exceed R22 500. How much percentage R180 of R26 000?

The first R25 000 is tax free not R22 500 for all tax years after March 2014.
