Total tax paid
KES 11
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer KSh 1 to pay you KSh 77. In other words, every time you spend KES 10 of your hard-earned money, KES 1.43 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
14.1%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 13% tax rate now rises to 14.1%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 1.1% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary

If you make KSh 160,014 a year living in Kenya, you will be taxed KSh 20,226. That means that your net pay will be KSh 139,788 per year, or KSh 11,649 per month. Your average tax rate is 12.6% and your marginal tax rate is 14.9%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate. For instance, an increase of KES 100 in your salary will be taxed KES 14.9, hence, your net pay will only increase by KES 85.1.

Bonus Example

A KES 1,000 bonus will generate an extra KES 851 of net incomes. A KES 5,000 bonus will generate an extra KES 4,255 of net incomes.
