Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer KSh 1.15 to pay you KSh 165,000. In other words, every time you spend KSh 10 of your hard-earned money, KSh 3 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
30.0%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 30% tax rate now rises to 30.0%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 0% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make KSh 343,200,000 a year living in Kenya, you will be taxed KSh 102,894,720. That means that your net pay will be KSh 240,305,280 per year, or KSh 20,025,440 per month. Your average tax rate is 30.0% and your marginal tax rate is 30.0%. 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 30, hence, your net pay will only increase by KSh 70.
Bonus Example
A KSh 1,000 bonus will generate an extra KSh 700 of net incomes. A KSh 5,000 bonus will generate an extra KSh 3,500 of net incomes.
