Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer KSh 2,400 to pay you KSh 280. In other words, every time you spend KSh 10 of your hard-earned money, KSh 85.71 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
89.6%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 0% tax rate now rises to 89.6%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 89.6% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make KSh 280 a year living in Kenya, you will be taxed 0. That means that your net pay will be KSh 280 per year, or KSh 23.33 per month. Your average tax rate is 1,500.0% and your marginal tax rate is 0.0%. 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 0, hence, your net pay will only increase by KSh 100.
Bonus Example
A KSh 1,000 bonus will generate an extra KSh 1,000 of net incomes. A KSh 5,000 bonus will generate an extra KSh 5,000 of net incomes.
