Payroll

Loading…

Covers resident employees whose only employer is your business. Non-residents, second jobs, benefits in kind, pension deductions and overtime rules are not calculated. Statutory rates come from a dated set compiled from 2026 payroll guides, not from KRA's own publication, so have them checked before you file. Once a pay run is finalized, prepare the PAYE return from the Compliance Center, and track what is due and paid on the Tax calendar.

Amounts are monthly. Insurance premiums are what the employee pays for life, education or health insurance each month; 15% of it, up to KES 5,000, comes off their PAYE.

New pay run

Works out pay for every active employee for one month. The result is a draft you can review, and delete and redo, until you finalize it.

Change pay for this month only

Edits here apply to this pay run only. They don't change the employee's record.

Annual summary

Each employee's pay and deductions for a year, added up from your finalized pay runs. It is a working summary in the spirit of a P9, not KRA's P9 form: KRA's own forms come from iTax.
