When you ask in the Income Tax Calculator "Your gross salary is the entire amount, including all benefits, that your boss pays you. " What code should I be looking for on my IRP5?

3601 (salary), 3605 (annual payment).
What other income codes are on your IRP5?

Hi Tim,

My other codes are as follows:
Income
3601 (income - PAYE)
3605 (PAYE payment)
3606 (Comm - PAYE)
Medical aid (PAYE)

Deductions
4001
4002
4005
4474
4497

3697 (gross RFI)
3698 (gross non-RFI)

But I am trying to assist my wife with tax planning / take home projecting for a prospective job.

Thanks,

David

You need to include 3606 and 3810 (Medical Aid fringe benefit paid for by your employer)

In addition to 3601 and 3605
