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 is sourced directly from SARS, dated, and linked. We refresh constants the moment the Budget is tabled.
- 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 component is tested at 375px width.
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.
