COIDA Return of Earnings calculator
Estimate your 2026 COIDA Return of Earnings assessment fee. Works for commercial employers and for private households with domestic workers. Pick your assessment year — R668,000 per employee from 1 March 2026, or R633,168 for 2025/2026 — and the calculator applies the ceiling and the right minimum (R1,621 commercial, R560 domestic) automatically.
Provisional earnings — the year you are in, from 1 March 2026. Earnings above R668 000 per employee are excluded.
Your ROE declares both: actual earnings for the year that ended and provisional earnings for the year ahead. Run it once per year to get both figures.
Include salary, wages, bonuses and overtime. Amounts above R668 000 per employee are automatically capped.
Assumes similar salaries across employees. For an accurate calculation with mixed salaries (e.g., directors and junior staff), use your ClearComply account, which extracts per-employee earnings from your payroll files and applies the R668 000 ceiling per employee correctly.
These are indicative rates based on broad industry classes (Classes I–III). Your actual tariff depends on your specific subclass — get an exact calculation in your ClearComply account.
