Kenya PAYE Tax Calculator

Kenya personal income taxation requires that employers deduct certain amount of money from employees' salaries and remit the sum deducted to Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA). The amount deducted depends on the earnings of the employee. The higher the earnings the higher the tax amount deducted. Hence it is termed PAYE - Paye As You Earned.

Before or on the 9th of the following month, employers are to fill and remit PAYE tax deducted from salaries.
Late filing attracts a penalty which is the higher of 25% of the tax due or 10,000 KES.
Late remittance attracts a penalty of 5% of tax due and 1% interest per month.
Failure to deduct PAYE tax attracts a penalty of the higher of 25% of the tax involved or 10,000 KES.
