The tax table behind the numbers
Income tax for the year that runs from 1 March 2026 to 28 February 2027, as published by SARS.
| Taxable income per year | Tax |
|---|---|
| R1 to R245 100 | 18% of taxable income |
| R245 101 to R383 100 | R44 118 + 26% of the amount above R245 100 |
| R383 101 to R530 200 | R79 998 + 31% of the amount above R383 100 |
| R530 201 to R695 800 | R125 599 + 36% of the amount above R530 200 |
| R695 801 to R887 000 | R185 215 + 39% of the amount above R695 800 |
| R887 001 to R1 878 600 | R259 783 + 41% of the amount above R887 000 |
| R1 878 601 and above | R666 339 + 45% of the amount above R1 878 600 |
From that tax you subtract a rebate: R17 820 if you are under 65, R27 585 from 65, and R30 834 from 75. That is why nobody under 65 pays income tax on the first R99 000 they earn in a year.
UIF is 1% of your salary, up to a salary of R17 712 a month, so it is never more than R177.12.
What this does not include
The worked figures on this page assume no medical aid and no retirement contributions. Add yours in the calculator above: the medical aid tax credit takes R376 a month off your PAYE for you, R376 for your first dependant and R254 for each one after that. Retirement contributions are taken off your taxable income, up to 27.5% of your salary and R430 000 a year. Medical aid premiums are not subtracted from take-home pay.
- Bonuses, commission, overtime, travel allowances and other benefits.
If any of these apply to you, your payslip will differ. These figures are estimates, not tax advice.
