SARS PAYE Tax Calculator
Estimate your monthly PAYE, UIF, and take-home for the 2024/2025, 2025/2026, and 2026/2027 tax years — using current SARS brackets, rebates, and medical credits.
Taxed as fringe benefit; counts toward s11F deduction
Added to annual taxable income (not divided into monthly cash unless it is paid as cash — take-home still uses monthly salary + travel).
Disclaimer: Estimates only, based on official SARS tables — not tax advice. For filing or planning, contact Blu Solutions.
Applies the s11F retirement deduction cap (27.5% of the greater of remuneration / taxable income, capped at R350 000 for 2024/25–2025/26 and R430 000 for 2026/27). Includes taxable fringe benefits and employer retirement contributions. Travel: enter business-use %; only the personal portion is taxed; take-home includes travel cash paid. Still a simplified estimate — not a full IRP5 (excludes capital gains, s18A donations, additional medical tax credits, tax directives, and some allowances).

How this SARS PAYE calculator works
Free take-home pay calculator for South Africa — estimate tax on a R35 000 salary (or any amount) for the 2026 tax year using official brackets.
Annual taxable income
Salary + taxable fringe + personal travel + employer retirement, less the s11F retirement deduction (27.5% / annual cap).
SARS brackets applied
Progressive rates from 18% to 45%, using the official brackets for the tax year you select.
Rebates and credits
Primary, secondary (65+), and tertiary (75+) rebates, plus medical scheme tax credits where applicable.
UIF and take-home
Optional UIF (1%, capped). Take-home is cash salary + travel, less PAYE, UIF and employee retirement — not a SARS assessment.
