Real tax rate
13.6%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 12.7% tax rate now rises to 13.6%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 0.9% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make KSh 221,875 a year living in Kenya, you will be taxed KSh 28,140. That means that your net pay will be KSh 193,735 per year, or KSh 16,145 per month. Your average tax rate is 12.7% and your marginal tax rate is 13.0%. 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 12.96, hence, your net pay will only increase by KSh 87.04.

A KSh 1,000 bonus will generate an extra KSh 870 of net incomes. A KSh 5,000 bonus will generate an extra KSh 4,352 of net incomes.
