Before you use the numbers
Is this an official SARS tool?
No. It uses published SARS brackets, rebates and UIF rules to estimate PAYE. It is not SARS and it is not tax advice. Check a practitioner or SARS for a filing.
Which tax year should I pick?
The 2027 tax year runs from 1 March 2026 to 28 February 2027. That is the current year for salaries paid from March 2026. Use 2026 if you are checking an older payslip.
