Real tax rate

So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 27% tax rate now rises to 27.1%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 0.1% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make KSh 2,188,333 a year living in Kenya, you will be taxed KSh 591,220. That means that your net pay will be KSh 1,597,113 per year, or KSh 133,093 per month. Your average tax rate is 27.0% and your marginal tax rate is 30.0%. 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 30, hence, your net pay will only increase by KSh 70.
