Summary
If you make KSh 55,000 a year living in Kenya, you will be taxed KSh 6,400. That means that your net pay will be KSh 48,600 per year, or KSh 4,050 per month. Your average tax rate is 11.6% 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.
Bonus Example
A KSh 1,000 bonus will generate an extra KSh 900 of net incomes. A KSh 5,000 bonus will generate an extra KSh 4,500 of net incomes.
