This estimate applies a simple South African payroll model. It does not cover all SARS allowances, rebates, or employer contributions.

How this estimate works

Taxable income is annualized from gross salary, allowances and fringe benefits, then reduced by retirement contributions subject to SARS caps.
PAYE is estimated using South African annual tax brackets with the primary rebate and age-related rebate.
Employee UIF is capped at R177.12 per month; employer UIF is the same amount.
SDL is calculated at 1% of gross salary for the employer and is not deducted from net pay.
Employer cost includes gross salary, employer UIF, SDL and employer benefits.
