Posted 25 November 2014

If your bonus is equal to your salary but it include travel allowance and telephone allowance how is it calculated for example;
My gross salary is R8800.00 (Basic Salary Allowance transport R500 R300 telephone allowance) bonus R8800.00 gross Income=R17600.00
How much will the UIF be and the PAYE?

It would depend on the method the employer is using. If they are using the gross method then make use of our SARS income tax calculator otherwise if they use whats called the balance of remuneration method which basically averages your salary and says what is the difference in tax on the total income with the bonus and without and then the PAYE becomes the difference.
