How the conversion works

A year has 52 weeks. On a 40-hour, five-day week that's 2 080 working hours and 260 working days a year, or about 173 hours a month. The monthly figure is the annual figure divided by 12.

After tax

Take-home figures use the 2026/27 SARS tables for someone under 65, with PAYE worked out on the annual salary and UIF at 1%. Medical aid and retirement contributions would change them; the take-home pay calculator includes those.
