Net to Gross Salary Calculator
Net to Gross Salary Calculator
Know what you need to take home? Work backwards to the gross salary you should ask for.
How it works: The calculator tries gross salaries until PAYE and UIF, deducted on the 2026/27 tables, leave exactly the take-home pay you entered.
Frequently asked questions
Why is the gross increase bigger than the net increase I want?
Each extra rand is taxed at your marginal rate, so a R1 000 net increase can need R1 400 or more in gross pay.
Does this include medical aid and pension deductions?
Only if you add them. Other payroll deductions reduce take-home pay further.
