Frequently Asked Questions

To add VAT, multiply the amount by 0.15 and add it to the original price. To remove VAT from a VAT-inclusive amount, divide it by 1.15. Our VAT calculator does both instantly — just enter the Rand amount and select Add or Remove VAT.
PAYE (Pay As You Earn) is calculated based on SARS’s annual tax brackets, applied to your income, then reduced by tax rebates and any medical aid credits. Our PAYE calculator uses the latest SARS-aligned rates to estimate your monthly and annual tax.
