What are payroll taxes in Kenya?

The National Social Security Fund (NSSF) is a statutory savings scheme to provide for retirement. Both employers and employee’s contribute 5% (up to KSH 200) per month.

An individual earning more than KSH 1,000 per month must make a monthly contribution to the National Hospital Insurance Fund which entitles them to a reduction in certain hospital charges.

Kenya is a member of the International Social Security Association.

Monthly contributions should be made to the authorities for social security payment by the 15th of the following month.
