Total tax paid
KES 13,944
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer KSh 2,400 to pay you KSh 90,000. In other words, every time you spend KES 10 of your hard-earned money, KES 1.55 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
15.1%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 12.8% tax rate now rises to 15.1%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 2.3% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary

If you make KSh 90,000 a year living in Kenya, you will be taxed KSh 11,544. That means that your net pay will be KSh 78,456 per year, or KSh 6,538 per month. Your average tax rate is 12.8% and your marginal tax rate is 12.4%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate. For instance, an increase of KES 100 in your salary will be taxed KES 12.4, hence, your net pay will only increase by KES 87.6.

Bonus Example

A KES 1,000 bonus will generate an extra KES 876 of net incomes. A KES 5,000 bonus will generate an extra KES 4,380 of net incomes.
