Provisional Tax Calculator

Provisional tax requires you to pay estimated tax in two instalments during the year rather than in a lump sum after assessment. Use this tool to estimate your payment amounts, due dates, and any penalty risk.

Step 1 — Entity type

Select your entity type — this determines the tax rate and penalty rules that apply.

Step 2 — Income & tax figures
From your last SARS assessment or tax return
Your best estimate for the current tax year
PAYE withheld by an employer, if applicable
Most companies have a February year end
Step 3 — Your payment due dates

Provisional tax is paid in two compulsory instalments. A voluntary third payment can be made after year end to avoid interest on any shortfall.
