General information, not advice
The guides, tables and calculators on TaxPlanners are for general information only. They are not personal tax, legal, accounting or financial advice, and they don’t take your full circumstances into account. Before you make a decision, check with SARS or a registered tax practitioner.
Calculators give estimates
- Results are estimates based on the figures you enter and on the SARS rates, rebates and thresholds for the tax year shown.
- Each calculator makes assumptions, for example a full tax year of employment with no other income. These are explained on the calculator page.
- Your actual PAYE, refund or tax payable can differ because of payroll methods, fringe benefits, other income, tax directives or your final SARS assessment.
- Only SARS can confirm your final tax, through your notice of assessment.
Rates and rules change
Tax rates and rules change, usually with each National Budget and sometimes during the year. We check our figures against official SARS sources and show the date each page was last checked, but some information may be out of date between updates.
