PAYE Payroll Estimate Report (2026)
PAYE Calculator Kenya
Instantly compute your accurate monthly Pay As You Earn (PAYE) tax securely using the latest 2026 KRA progressive bands. Furthermore, this tool perfectly calculates your precise mandatory NSSF Phase 4, SHIF, and Housing Levy deductions automatically.
Note: Your gross salary legally includes your basic pay combined with all regular cash allowances. We continuously update these underlying tax algorithms to ensure 100% KRA compliance at all times.
2026 KRA PAYE Tax Bands
Our PAYE Calculator Kenya strictly utilizes the officially published progressive income tax bands, which were formally enacted through the latest Finance Act. Consequently, these exact rates smoothly determine how much tax is legally withheld from an employee's gross pay.
Furthermore, by relying strictly on official KRA guidelines, we ensure that your payroll estimations are completely accurate. As a result, both employers and employees can forecast their financial obligations confidently without fearing compliance penalties.
| Monthly Taxable Pay (KES) | Tax Rate (%) |
|---|---|
| Up to 24,000 | 10.0% |
| 24,001 to 32,333 | 25.0% |
| 32,334 to 500,000 | 30.0% |
| 500,001 to 800,000 | 32.5% |
| Over 800,000 | 35.0% |
Statutory Reliefs Applied
Importantly, to actively ensure 100% computational accuracy, our calculator seamlessly incorporates the standard statutory reliefs mandated by the KRA. For instance, the system automatically deducts the required allowable deductions (like SHIF and the Housing Levy) directly from your gross pay to determine your true taxable income.
Therefore, you do not need to manually adjust the final numbers. Specifically, we apply the following standard relief directly to your final tax figure:
- Personal Relief: KES 2,400 automatically granted per month.
