Payroll Tax Calculator
EMP201 Payroll Tax Calculator
Calculate every line on your monthly EMP201: PAYE, UIF, SDL and the Employment Tax Incentive set-off.
How it works: PAYE is worked out per employee on the 2026/27 tables. UIF is 1% from the employee plus 1% from you, up to the earnings ceiling. SDL is 1% of total payroll. ETI for qualifying young employees reduces the PAYE you pay over. The EMP201 is due by the 7th of the following month.
Frequently asked questions
Can I lose my ETI claim?
Yes. If any employee is paid below minimum wage, the entire ETI claim for that month is disqualified.
Do all employees need a tax number?
Yes. EMP501 submissions are rejected if an employee lacks a valid income tax number.
