Tax Calculation On Two Pot refers to the calculation of tax liability on withdrawals from retirement funds under the two-pot retirement system. This system separates retirement savings into accessible and preserved components, with different tax treatments.
The calculator uses the formula:
Where:
Explanation: The calculation multiplies the withdrawal amount by the marginal tax rate (expressed as a percentage) to determine the tax payable on the withdrawal.
Details: Accurate tax calculation is essential for retirement planning, helping individuals understand the net amount they will receive after taxes and make informed decisions about withdrawals.
Tips: Enter the withdrawal amount in Rands (R) and the marginal tax rate as a percentage. Both values must be valid (withdrawal ≥ 0, marginal rate between 0-100%).

Q4: When should I calculate tax on withdrawals?
A: Calculate tax before making any withdrawals to understand the net amount you will receive and plan accordingly.
