How Our Salary Calculator Works - Calculation Formula
Step-by-Step Calculation Process
NSSF = 6% of pensionable pay (capped at KES 2,160/month)
Formula: min(Gross × 0.06, 2160)
Taxable Income = Gross Salary - NSSF
- • First KES 24,000: 10% = KES 2,400
- • Next KES 8,333 (24,001-32,333): 25%
- • Next KES 467,667 (32,334-500,000): 30%
- • Above KES 500,000: 35%
PAYE = Tax Calculated - KES 2,400 (monthly relief)
- • NHIF: Based on tiered rates table
- • Housing Levy: Gross Salary × 1.5%
Net Salary = Gross - NSSF - PAYE - NHIF - Housing Levy
