Free SARS tax tools
These free calculators and checkers use the same SARS arithmetic that C-Suite runs for South African accounting practices, and each one shows the working behind its answer so you can check every line.
For accounting and tax practices
SARS compliance calendar
Twelve months of filing and payment dates for a business, business-day adjusted, with a calendar export.
SARS penalty calculator
The rand value of a late payment, an underestimate or a late reconciliation, across provisional tax, VAT, PAYE and EMP501.
EMP501 reconciliation checker
Test EMP201 totals against IRP5 certificates before submission and see the differences that would fail the reconciliation.
For individual taxpayers
SARS tax tables and thresholds
The current income tax brackets, rebates, thresholds and medical scheme fees credits, with a lookup that shows the tax on any taxable income.
PAYE calculator
Monthly PAYE and take-home pay from a salary, with retirement contributions, medical scheme credits and UIF worked in.
Medical tax credit calculator
The monthly medical scheme credit and the extra credit for medical costs you paid yourself, for the 2026-27 tax year.
Travel allowance calculator
How much of a travel allowance is taxed, using the SARS cost table or your real car costs, and the business kilometres your logbook has to show.
Rental income tax calculator
The extra tax on rental income once the costs SARS allows are taken off, worked out on top of your other income.
How these tools handle your information
Every figure you type is worked out in your browser, and the numbers are masked before anything leaves it, so they stay on your own device. No tool here asks you to sign up or to give an email address. Anonymised analytics and an anonymised session replay run across the site so we can see which pages confuse people, and the Cookie preferences control in the footer switches both off in one click.
New tools join this page through the tax year. Before one does, C-Suite checks it against the published SARS tables, and the editorial standards page sets out how that check works.
The same arithmetic, across a whole client book
Each tool answers for one taxpayer at a time. C-Suite runs the same checks across every client in a practice at once, starting with a free one-week pilot on your own client book, so each exposure shows up while there is still time to deal with it before the deadline.
C-Suite Individual runs the filing-season document chase and intake for your individual tax book, and C-Suite Commercial keeps the company-tax compliance calendar for your business clients.
