compute_paye_annualcompute_paye_monthlynet_to_grosstax_threshold_checkemployer_sdlpaye_tablesSouth Africa PAYE Calculator 2026/27 gives an agent payroll-tax arithmetic that matches the SARS table instead of a guess. compute_paye_annual applies the seven SARS brackets for the 2027 tax year (1 March 2026 to 28 February 2027) with a bracket-by-bracket breakdown and the primary, secondary (65 and older) and tertiary (75 and older) rebates. compute_paye_monthly annualises a steady monthly amount and divides the annual tax by 12; net_to_gross solves the monthly pay that leaves a target amount after PAYE. tax_threshold_check returns the age-based tax-free thresholds (R99,000, R153,250, R171,300) and checks an income against them. employer_sdl applies the Skills Development Levy test (more than R500,000 expected over 12 months, then 1%). emp201_amount_summary adds PAYE, SDL and UIF amounts the caller supplies; paye_tables returns the table, rebates and thresholds with the SARS row text, source URLs and verification labels. Medical scheme fees tax credits, retirement fund deductions, fringe benefits, bonuses, ETI and UIF rates are not modelled (the UIF rate was not on the SARS page read, so no UIF estimate is offered). Everything is computed locally in exact decimal arithmetic; nothing is stored, filed or paid. General information only, not tax advice.
