How Net Income is Calculated in South Africa
In South Africa, net income is calculated by subtracting deductions from your gross salary. The main deductions include PAYE (Pay-As-You-Earn) tax, which is based on the SARS income tax tables, and UIF (Unemployment Insurance Fund), which is 1% of your salary up to a capped amount (Currently R177.12 per month). Additional deductions may include contributions to medical aid, pension funds, or company-specific benefits. What’s left after these deductions is your net income — the amount that gets paid into your bank account each month.
