TaxPlanners is a free South African website with tax calculators and plain-English guides to SARS rules. We built it for employees, pensioners, freelancers and small business owners who want to check their numbers before they file, sign a contract or talk to an accountant.
What we offer
- PAYE and income tax calculator with UIF and take-home pay for 2026/27
- Tax refund, retirement tax, capital gains tax, company tax and transfer duty calculators
- Guides to SARS eFiling, tax brackets, the IRP5, tax numbers, VAT registration and more on our blog
How we keep our figures accurate
- We take tax rates, brackets, rebates and thresholds from official SARS publications, such as SARS’s rates of tax for individuals and the National Budget documents.
- Each guide lists its sources and the date we last checked them.
- We update the calculators after each National Budget, usually in February, and when SARS changes a rule during the year.
- If we find a mistake, or someone reports one, we correct it and update the page date.
