Tax calculators by province and city
South African income tax is national — the SARS brackets, rebates and thresholds are the same everywhere. What changes from place to place is the income mix: commission in Sandton, farming income in the Free State, remote foreign earnings in Cape Town. These pages give you the same SARS-aligned calculator with context for where you live.

Gauteng tax calculator
Gauteng is South Africa's economic hub, home to the JSE and the highest concentration of provisional taxpayers. Many Gauteng residents earn commission, rental income, or have multiple income streams — making provisional tax a key consideration.
Western Cape tax calculator
The Western Cape has a fast-growing freelance and tech economy, especially in Cape Town. Many residents have foreign-currency income or earn from platforms like Upwork and Fiverr, which SARS treats as taxable income regardless of where payment originates.
KwaZulu-Natal tax calculator
KwaZulu-Natal has a significant manufacturing and logistics sector alongside a growing SME base. Durban-based taxpayers often have trade income, bonus structures, and provident fund considerations that affect their effective tax rate.
Eastern Cape tax calculator
The Eastern Cape has a high proportion of government employees and civil servants, meaning PAYE deductions are common. Taxza helps Eastern Cape residents verify their employer's deductions and plan for year-end.
Free State tax calculator
The Free State economy is driven by agriculture and mining. Farmers and agri-business owners in the Free State often qualify for averaging provisions and specific deductions — and provisional tax applies to most agricultural income.
Limpopo tax calculator
Limpopo's economy is resource-rich, with many taxpayers earning from mining royalties, game farming, and government employment. Limpopo residents with multiple income sources are typically required to register as provisional taxpayers.
Mpumalanga tax calculator
Mpumalanga has a mix of mining, tourism, and agricultural taxpayers. The Kruger Park corridor generates significant hospitality income, and many guesthouse or lodge owners in Mpumalanga are self-employed provisional taxpayers.
North West tax calculator
North West Province has a strong platinum-belt mining economy. Many North West residents receive shift allowances, housing subsidies, and risk pay — all of which affect taxable income calculations under SARS rules.
Northern Cape tax calculator
The Northern Cape is South Africa's largest province by area but smallest by population. Many residents are in remote mining or government roles. Taxza helps Northern Cape taxpayers check their IRP5 accuracy and estimate their refund or liability before submission.
