How to use the Kenya Payroll Calculator

Enter the employee's gross monthly salary and select employment type (permanent, contract, or part-time). The tool automatically computes:

  • PAYE – using KRA's graduated tax bands for 2025, then subtracts the monthly personal relief (KES 2,400).
  • NSSF – Tier I (6% on first KES 7,000) and Tier II (6% on next KES 22,000), total max employee contribution of KES 1,740.
  • SHA – Social Health Authority deduction at 2.75% of gross salary (replaced NHIF).
  • Housing Levy – 1.5% of gross salary (employee contribution).

The result shows a clear breakdown and net pay. You can download a PDF payslip for your records.
