Quick Answers
Gross to Net Salary FAQs
What is the difference between gross pay and net pay in Kenya?
Gross pay is your total agreed compensation before any taxes or deductions. Net pay (take-home salary) is the actual amount deposited into your bank account after subtracting statutory deductions (PAYE, NSSF, SHIF, Housing Levy) and voluntary deductions (pension, insurance, loan repayments).
How do additional benefits affect my take-home pay?
Taxable cash allowances (such as telephone or travel allowances) increase your gross taxable income, which may push a portion of your earnings into higher graduated PAYE tax brackets.
