Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer KSh 200 to pay you KSh 927. In other words, every time you spend KSh 10 of your hard-earned money, KSh 5.93 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
48.8%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 37.8% tax rate now rises to 48.8%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 11% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make KSh 11,124 a year living in Kenya, you will be taxed KSh 4,200. That means that your net pay will be KSh 6,924 per year, or KSh 577 per month. Your average tax rate is 37.8% and your marginal tax rate is 0.0%. 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 0, hence, your net pay will only increase by KSh 100.
Bonus Example
A KSh 1,000 bonus will generate an extra KSh 1,000 of net incomes. A KSh 5,000 bonus will generate an extra KSh 5,000 of net incomes.
