A simple and quick tool to lookup the tax due on any taxable amount entered into the calculator for a specific year (from March 2019 to February 2024 ). Specify the age, medical dependants and the pay frequency (weekly, monthly or annual) and tap on the calculate button to produce the resultant tax due. This calculator can be used by anyone wanting to check their payslip or for employers that manually calculate payrolls or want to spot check a computer calculation. Our Software Support Consultants use this tool to check the tax calculated in our various software versions and to do salary structuring or outsourcing tax checks. The calculator adjusts for the relevant tax rebate and tax bracket and computes the correct tax bracket calculations using the tax rates applicable from March 2019 to February 2023. (Please select the tax year for the relevant tax rate) The tax rates tables and additional information can be viewed as a pdf document accessed from the Information button on the top right of the screen. This pdf document is a "Cheat Sheet" of Payroll Legislation and is used daily by Payslip Support Staff for easy reference. If you require payroll software or services, please consider our product offering at shop.payslip.co.za or contact help@payslip.co.za

Complete ID provides you with solutions that protect your digital privacy. A secure virtual private network (VPN) will help you keep your device Wi-Fi network secure and private from hackers while on public networks. You will be able to create your own encrypted VPN connection whenever you want to protect your browsing activity. Shielding your browsing activity from hackers while on public networks will help you: 1. Prevent hackers from gaining access to your personal information and other data when you access your device on a Wi-Fi network. 2. Prevent third parties from gathering device, IP address and location information while on a Wi-Fi network. Recommended use of the VPN: We recommend that you turn on your VPN when connecting to public Wi-Fi networks which may have poor security. This includes while you are browsing the internet or using applications that use the internet, such as social media, banking, and gaming apps. Keep the VPN on until you are finished with your session.
