Minimumloon-jare: die pakket gedeel deur 'n jaar se voltydse werk teen die nasionale minimumloon, R30,23 per uur vir 45 uur per week (R70 738 per jaar).

Waar die syfers vandaan kom

Elke syfer is die jaarlikse totale vergoedingspakket in die 2025/26-vasstelling vir daardie amp, gepubliseer in die Staatskoerant kragtens die Wet op die Vergoeding van Openbare Ampsdraers, die Wet op die Besoldiging en Diensvoorwaardes van Regters of die Wet op Landdroste, en uit die kennisgewing self gelees. Die kennisgewing en sy skakel is op elke ry. Die meeste het op 1 April 2025 in werking getree; munisipale perke op 1 Julie 2025.

Munisipale syfers is boperke. Elke raad besluit sy eie vergoeding tot by die perk vir sy graad, wat van die munisipaliteit se grootte en inkomste afhang, dus kan ’n burgemeester minder as die syfer verdien. Provinsiale syfers is ook boperke. Regters se pakkette sluit die pensioen uit, wat hul Wet apart reël.

Die President word nie gelys nie: die President se salaris word deur ’n besluit van die Nasionale Vergadering vasgestel, en geen 2025/26-syfer in die Staatskoerant kon gevind word nie. Dit word bygevoeg wanneer een gepubliseer word.
