Enter your gross monthly salary. We compute SHIF (2.75%), NSSF Tier I+II, Housing Levy (1.5%), and progressive PAYE — then return your net pay.
The Social Health Insurance Fund replaced NHIF in October 2024. It's a flat 2.75% of gross salary with a KES 300 minimum — and no cap.
Effective Feb 2026, Tier I is 6% on the first KES 9,000 (max 540). Tier II is 6% on KES 9,001–108,000 (max 5,940). Employee max: KES 6,480. Employer matches.
1.5% of gross salary from the employee, matched by the employer. Since Dec 2024 the AHL relief was repealed — it no longer reduces your taxable income for PAYE.
Quick excise duty estimator for common categories. Rates come from the Excise Duty Act as amended by the Finance Act. For niche goods, confirm with KRA.
Kenya uses CIF (Cost + Insurance + Freight) as the customs value. We stack Import Duty → Excise → VAT → IDF → RDL in the correct KRA sequence.
Standard VAT in Kenya is 16%. Use this to either add VAT to a net amount, or extract VAT from a VAT-inclusive figure.
When an employer lends money to an employee below the market rate, a taxable benefit arises. FBT is payable by the employer at the corporate rate of 30%. The prescribed market rate for Jan–Jun 2026 is 8%.
You know the take-home you want. We work backwards through PAYE, SHIF, NSSF, and Housing Levy to find the gross salary you need to negotiate.
WHT is deducted at source on payments like dividends, interest, royalties, consultancy fees, and rent. The payer remits to KRA and issues a withholding certificate.
Resident landlords earning residential rent between KES 288,000 and 15M per year pay a flat 7.5% on gross rent. No deductions or expenses claimed. Return due by the 20th of the following month.
Small businesses with annual turnover between KES 1M and 25M pay 1.5% on gross sales (reduced from 3% by Finance Act 2024). Filed monthly by the 20th. Simpler than regular income tax — no expenses to track.
We track every Finance Act, KRA notice and NSSF phase. The 2026 Tier 4 NSSF rates, SHIF replacing NHIF, and the repealed AHL relief are all reflected here.
Every calculation runs in your browser. Nothing leaves your device. No account, no cookies tied to your salary, no email bait.
