UGX 3,398
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer USh 870 to pay you USh 8,701. In other words, every time you spend UGX 10 of your hard-earned money, UGX 3.91 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
35.5%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 29.1% tax rate now rises to 35.5%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 6.4% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary

If you make USh 18,098,038 a year living in Uganda, you will be taxed USh 5,258,313. That means that your net pay will be USh 12,839,725 per year, or USh 1,069,977 per month. Your average tax rate is 29.1% and your marginal tax rate is 35.0%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate. For instance, an increase of UGX 100 in your salary will be taxed UGX 35, hence, your net pay will only increase by UGX 65.

Bonus Example

A UGX 1,000 bonus will generate an extra UGX 650 of net incomes. A UGX 5,000 bonus will generate an extra UGX 3,250 of net incomes.
