About ZACalc

ZACalc is a modern calculator suite built specifically for South Africa. Every tool uses official SARS rates and ZAR throughout — no copy-paste from US or UK calculators with the currency swapped out.

We're starting with the basics: a fast, accurate, mobile-friendly VAT calculator. From there we'll roll out PAYE, bond, salary, transfer duty and the rest of the everyday SA finance tools.

Our principles

  • Accuracy first. Every rate matches the current SARS tables, with the date and a link to the SARS page.
  • Privacy by design. Every calculation runs in your browser. Nothing is sent to a server, nothing is stored, nothing is tracked.
  • No friction. No signup, no email capture, no paywall. Live results — no submit button.
  • Built for the phone. Most South African traffic is mobile. Every calculator is designed to work on a small phone screen.

Who builds this

ZACalc is independently built and maintained out of Paarl, Western Cape. We are not affiliated with SARS. Always consult a registered tax practitioner for filing decisions.
