Free calculators for investment, bond, salary, and more

RunYourNumbers is a set of free, South African–focused calculators for the questions you actually ask before making a financial move: what will my take-home pay be, what will this bond really cost me, and what does compound interest do to my savings over ten or twenty years.

Five calculators, not fifty. Compound interest, bonds, take-home pay, two-pot retirement, and personal loans are the ones people actually reach for before a real decision: signing a bond, changing a pension contribution, deciding whether that loan is worth it.

Local rules, not global averages. SARS tax brackets, UIF, medical aid tax credits, prime-linked bond rates, and the two-pot system that came into effect in September 2024 all behave differently here than in a generic US or UK calculator. We built these against South African rules specifically, not a template with the currency symbol swapped out.

Every calculator uses local numbers: SARS tax brackets, UIF, medical aid tax credits, prime-linked bond rates. That means the result matches what you'd see on a payslip or a bond quote, not a generic global estimate. Enter your numbers, see the breakdown, and adjust until the picture makes sense.
