Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer KSh 200 to pay you KSh 660,000. In other words, every time you spend KSh 10 of your hard-earned money, KSh 2.92 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
29.2%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 29.2% tax rate now rises to 29.2%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 0% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make KSh 7,920,000 a year living in Kenya, you will be taxed KSh 2,310,720. That means that your net pay will be KSh 5,609,280 per year, or KSh 467,440 per month. Your average tax rate is 29.2% 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.
