Salary Increase Calculator
Turn a percentage into the before-and-after numbers you can actually plan around.
Calculator inputs
- Current monthly salary
- Increase percentage
- Estimated deductions — A planning assumption for PAYE and other deductions, not a payroll calculation.
How the calculator works
Apply an increase percentage to current gross monthly salary, then show the gross change and a planning estimate of the take-home difference using your deduction assumption.
Example calculation
Try R30,000 with an 8% increase and a 25% deduction assumption. Compare the new gross salary, monthly take-home improvement, and annual gross impact.
Frequently asked questions
- Is a salary increase taxed?
- Usually, the extra salary is included in taxable income. The actual PAYE impact depends on your full remuneration and payroll details.
- Why is the take-home increase smaller than the gross increase?
- PAYE and other deductions can reduce the amount of an increase that reaches your account. Use the full salary calculator for a more detailed estimate.
