1. What Is Total Cost To Company?

Total Cost To Company (CTC) represents the total amount of money an employer spends on an employee in a year. In South Africa, this includes basic salary, benefits, UIF (Unemployment Insurance Fund), and SDL (Skills Development Levy).

2. How Does The Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the CTC formula:

\[ CTC = Basic + Benefits + UIF + SDL \]

Where:

\( Basic \) — Basic salary amount in ZAR
\( Benefits \) — Additional benefits amount in ZAR
\( UIF \) — Unemployment Insurance Fund contribution (percentage of basic salary)
\( SDL \) — Skills Development Levy (percentage of basic salary)

Explanation: The formula calculates the total employment cost by summing the basic salary, benefits, and statutory contributions required by South African labor laws.

3. Importance Of CTC Calculation

Details: Accurate CTC calculation is crucial for employers to budget properly, ensure compliance with labor laws, and for employees to understand their total compensation package beyond just take-home pay.

4. Using The Calculator

Tips: Enter basic salary and benefits in ZAR, UIF and SDL as percentages. All values must be valid positive numbers. The calculator will provide both the total CTC and a detailed breakdown.
