Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer KSh 100 to pay you KSh 38,367. In other words, every time you spend KSh 10 of your hard-earned money, KSh 2.29 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
22.9%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 22.7% tax rate now rises to 22.9%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 0.2% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make KSh 920,808 a year living in Kenya, you will be taxed KSh 208,730. That means that your net pay will be KSh 712,078 per year, or KSh 59,340 per month. Your average tax rate is 22.7% and your marginal tax rate is 30.9%. 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 30.93, hence, your net pay will only increase by KSh 69.07.
Bonus Example
A KSh 1,000 bonus will generate an extra KSh 691 of net incomes. A KSh 5,000 bonus will generate an extra KSh 3,454 of net incomes.
