How UIF and COIDA Contributions Work in South Africa

Every South African employer must deduct 1% from an employee's monthly gross remuneration and contribute a matching 1% for the Unemployment Insurance Fund (UIF), subject to the monthly remuneration ceiling of R17,712 (maximum R177.12 each, or R354.24 combined per month). Employers must also register with the Compensation Fund (COIDA) and submit an annual Return of Earnings (ROE) to obtain a Letter of Good Standing.

This is an estimate, not tax advice. This calculator is provided for general guidance only. It applies standard rates and thresholds and cannot account for your full circumstances — rebates, exemptions, exclusions, prior assessments, or rules specific to your entity type may change the result materially.

COIDA is estimated without applying the annual earnings ceiling, and assessment tariffs vary by industry classification. Treat the COIDA figure as indicative only.

Rates and thresholds change, most commonly at the start of the tax year in March. Always confirm figures against the current SARS tables before relying on them, and speak to a registered practitioner before making a financial or compliance decision. My Accountant accepts no liability for any action taken on the basis of a figure produced here.
