PAYE runs from 18% to 45% with a rebate that lifts the effective threshold, and UIF takes 1% up to a low ceiling. Everyday costs are modest, but rent, private security and medical aid are often paid separately from tax, so the gap between a professional salary and a comfortable one is wider than the brackets suggest.

Second-category tax runs from 0% to 40% in UTM bands, with AFP pension, health and unemployment contributions deducted first. City-centre rents and private health plans are the main pressure points, and the cost of living varies sharply between communes.
