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.

If any of these apply to you, your payslip will differ. These figures are estimates, not tax advice.
