Summary

If you make USh 1,039,376 a year living in Uganda, you will be taxed USh 51,969. That means that your net pay will be USh 987,407 per year, or USh 82,284 per month. Your average tax rate is 5.0% and your marginal tax rate is 5.0%. 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 5, hence, your net pay will only increase by UGX 95.
