Real tax rate

So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 11.8% tax rate now rises to 15.9%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 4.1% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make KSh 49,790 a year living in Kenya, you will be taxed KSh 5,879. That means that your net pay will be KSh 43,911 per year, or KSh 3,659 per month. Your average tax rate is 11.8% and your marginal tax rate is 10.0%. 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 10, hence, your net pay will only increase by KSh 90.
