Enter your gross annual salary and this estimates your PAYE using SARS's 2026/27 tax brackets, then applies the primary (and age-based) rebate to work out what you'd actually take home each month. It's an estimate — it doesn't account for retirement contributions, medical aid credits or other deductions.

It's a close estimate of standard PAYE. Your actual payslip deduction can differ slightly based on retirement annuity contributions, medical aid tax credits, travel allowances and other SARS-recognised deductions this calculator doesn't account for.
The rebate is a fixed amount subtracted directly from your calculated tax. The tax-free threshold is simply the income level at which your rebate fully cancels out your tax — below it, you owe nothing.
