How this is calculated

PAYE is calculated on your annual taxable income using the SARS tax tables, minus rebates and medical credits.
UIF is 1% of your gross salary (employee share), capped at R17,712/month.
Retirement annuity contributions reduce your taxable income (up to 27.5% of income, max R350,000).
Medical aid credits reduce the tax you owe (not your taxable income).
