Taxes in Kenya

Learn how employment taxes affect your payroll and your employees’ paychecks in Kenya.

Kenya operates a dual taxation regime under which workers are either charged a flat rate on their income or a fixed percentage after they advance into certain income brackets.

National Social Security

The monthly matching contributions by both employees and employers will rise from the current KES. 400 to 12% of a worker’s monthly pensionable income (6% from the employee and 6% from the employer – both contributing an equal amount), with a maximum contribution of KES. 2,160 for workers earning more than KES. 18,000 per month. Calculated at 6% of the base annual pay.
