- 01
Start from gross monthly pay. With a KRA disability exemption certificate, the exempt part comes off first.
- 02
Take off the employee's NSSF contribution, SHIF and the Affordable Housing Levy. What remains is taxable income.
- 03
Apply the PAYE tax bands to taxable income, each band at its own rate.
- 04
Take off personal relief for a resident. The result is PAYE, which is never below zero, rounded up to the whole shilling.
