UIF calculator

How much UIF do you pay for your helper?

1% comes off your helper's pay, you add 1% of your own, and you pay the 2% to UIF each month.

How it works

  • UIF applies once your helper works more than 24 hours a month for you.
  • Contributions are 1% + 1% of gross pay, up to R17,712.00 a month - so at most R177.12 each.
  • Register as a domestic employer and declare and pay through uFiling (ufiling.labour.gov.za) by the 7th of the next month.
