Monthly band breakdown used

Methodology

How this calculator works

The calculator annualises monthly employment income, adds business, rental and other income, subtracts entered deductions, then applies Kenya PAYE-style monthly bands to the equivalent monthly taxable income. It compares estimated annual tax with tax already paid to show a balance or refund estimate.

Worked example

Reading the result

For KSh 120,000 monthly employment income, the annual employment income is KSh 1,440,000 before any other income or deductions. The calculator converts annual taxable income back to a monthly equivalent before applying the PAYE band structure.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

Is this an annual tax return calculator?+

It is an annual planning estimate, not a full iTax return. It helps users understand PAYE bands, relief and rough balance/refund position.

Can I include business or rental income?+

Yes. The calculator has fields for annual business, rental and other taxable income.

Why does it use monthly bands?+

Kenya PAYE bands are commonly expressed monthly for payroll. The calculator annualises income but applies the monthly band logic to the monthly equivalent.

Does it include every Kenyan deduction?+

No. It includes manual deduction fields and shows scope limits so users do not mistake it for a final filing engine.
