How this South Africa net salary calculator works
This tool gives you a quick estimate of your take-home pay by subtracting common monthly deductions from your gross salary:
- Income tax (PAYE) – calculated as a simple percentage of your gross salary.
- UIF contribution – also calculated as a percentage of gross salary.
- Other deductions – any extra fixed deductions you want to include.
The actual PAYE tax calculation from SARS is based on annual tax tables and rebates. To keep this calculator fast and simple, it uses your chosen tax percentage as an approximation.
