SDL is calculated as 1% of the total amount paid in salaries to employees (Leviable Amount). Use our free calculator to see your monthly and annual SDL commitment.

Companies can claim back 20% of their SDL as a Mandatory Grant by submitting a WSP/ATR, and up to 49.5% through PIVOTAL grants for accredited training.
