How this calculation works
Gross payout equals agreed daily remuneration × payable unused leave days. Incremental income tax is the difference between annual individual tax with and without this payout.
A worked example
10 payable days at R1 500 per day gives R15 000 gross. With R360 000 other taxable income, the estimated additional income tax is R3 900.
Assumptions & limitations
- Enter the correct daily remuneration and eligible leave balance confirmed with payroll. The tool does not decide whether leave is payable or calculate a contractual daily rate.
- Income tax only is deducted; UIF, retirement, medical and other payroll deductions are excluded.
