Frequently Asked Questions
Got questions about your payslip or how we calculate your tax? We’ve got answers.
We meticulously update our formulas every year immediately after the Minister of Finance delivers the Budget Speech. We use the official SARS tax tables, rebates, and medical aid credits for the current tax year (2025/2026). However, please note that this is an estimation tool and should not replace a professional payslip from your employer.
Yes. SARS taxes bonuses and overtime as part of your total annual income. To calculate this accurately, simply add your bonus or overtime amount to your "Gross Income" field. Since South Africa uses a progressive tax system, these extra amounts might push you into a higher tax bracket for that specific month.
Never. We have a strict "Zero-Knowledge" policy. All calculations happen instantly within your web browser. We do not have a database that stores user inputs, so your financial details remain completely private and vanish the moment you close the tab.
Currently, our standard calculator provides a quick estimate based on Gross Income. We are working on an "Advanced Mode" update that will allow you to input the number of dependents on your medical aid to calculate the specific Medical Scheme Fees Tax Credit (MTC).
