Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer KSh 9.23 to pay you KSh 1,568. In other words, every time you spend KSh 10 of your hard-earned money, KSh 1.46 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
14.5%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 14% tax rate now rises to 14.5%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 0.5% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make KSh 407,680 a year living in Kenya, you will be taxed KSh 57,086. That means that your net pay will be KSh 350,594 per year, or KSh 29,216 per month. Your average tax rate is 14.0% and your marginal tax rate is 15.0%. 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 14.96, hence, your net pay will only increase by KSh 85.04.
Bonus Example
A KSh 1,000 bonus will generate an extra KSh 850 of net incomes. A KSh 5,000 bonus will generate an extra KSh 4,252 of net incomes.
