Summary
If you make KSh 20,000 a year living in Kenya, you will be taxed KSh 4,235. That means that your net pay will be KSh 15,765 per year, or KSh 1,314 per month. Your average tax rate is 21.2% and your marginal tax rate is 1.7%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate.
