Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer KSh 2,400 to pay you KSh 60,875. In other words, every time you spend KSh 10 of your hard-earned money, KSh 1.54 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
14.8%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 11.5% tax rate now rises to 14.8%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 3.3% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make KSh 60,875 a year living in Kenya, you will be taxed KSh 6,988. That means that your net pay will be KSh 53,888 per year, or KSh 4,491 per month. Your average tax rate is 11.5% 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.
