Total tax paid
KES 81,520
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer KSh 2,400 to pay you KSh 500,000. In other words, every time you spend KES 10 of your hard-earned money, KES 1.63 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
16.2%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 15.8% tax rate now rises to 16.2%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 0.4% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary

Si vous gagnez un salaire brut de KSh 500,000 par an en Kenya, vous serez imposé de KSh 79,120. Cela signifie que votre salaire net sera de KSh 420,880 par an, ou KSh 35,073 par mois. Votre taux d'imposition moyen est 15.8% et votre taux d'imposition marginal est 31.4%. Ce taux d'imposition marginal signifie que votre revenu supplémentaire immédiat sera imposé à ce taux.
