UIF Calculator
UIF Calculator
Calculate your monthly UIF contribution, check the earnings ceiling, and estimate what the Unemployment Insurance Fund pays out.
How it works: You and your employer each pay 1% of your monthly pay, 2% in total, up to the earnings ceiling. Employers pay it to SARS with the monthly EMP201. Benefits are paid by the UIF, not SARS, on a sliding scale that replaces a higher share of income for lower earners.
Frequently asked questions
Who pays out UIF benefits?
The Unemployment Insurance Fund, under the Department of Employment and Labour. SARS only collects the contributions.
Do I pay UIF on my full salary?
Only up to the earnings ceiling. Above it, the contribution is capped.
