SA Property Tools was built to solve a frustrating problem: most property calculators online are designed for UK or US investors. They don't know what transfer duty is, they've never heard of Section 13sex, and they calculate bond repayments in pounds or dollars.
South African property investors need tools that understand the SA market — transfer duty brackets, the prime rate, levies, body corporates, SARS capital gains rules. That's what we built.
Eight free calculators covering every major financial decision a South African property investor faces — from evaluating gross and net rental yield before making an offer, to calculating CGT liability before selling. All free, no signup required.
Alongside the tools, we publish long-form property investment content written specifically for the South African context — buy-to-let analysis, tax strategy, landlord guides, and suburb-by-suburb market data.
We update our calculators whenever SARS changes transfer duty brackets, when the prime rate changes, or when relevant legislation changes. The date of last update is noted on each calculator page.
All content is provided for general information purposes only. We are not financial advisors, tax practitioners or attorneys. Always consult a qualified professional before making investment decisions.
The Rental Yield Calculator is the most-used tool on the site — and the most important number to know before buying any investment property.
