Summary
If you make KSh 500,000 a year living in Kenya, you will be taxed KSh 79,120. That means that your net pay will be KSh 420,880 per year, or KSh 35,073 per month. Your average tax rate is 15.8% and your marginal tax rate is 31.4%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate. For instance, an increase of KSh 100 in your salary will be taxed KSh 31.40, hence, your net pay will only increase by KSh 68.60.
