Nothing is uploaded or saved. PAYE is an estimate and excludes retirement deductions, medical credits, fringe benefits, directives and other income.

What this tool covers

A proper payslip, without payroll software.

The estimate assumes one monthly pay period and standard rebates. Bonuses, irregular periods, retirement deductions, medical credits, fringe benefits, tax directives and other income can change PAYE.

Section 33 particulars

Employer and employee details, occupation, pay period, earnings, itemised deductions and actual net payment.

2026/27 PAYE estimate

Uses the current annual brackets and age rebates. More complex tax circumstances need payroll review.

Employee and employer UIF

Shows the employee's 1% deduction and the matching employer contribution, each subject to the current ceiling.

Know what to keep

BCEA employment records are retained for three years; SARS payroll tax and UIF records generally require five years.
