Summary
If you make USh 12,401 a year living in Uganda, you will be taxed USh 620. That means that your net pay will be USh 11,781 per year, or USh 982 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 USh 100 in your salary will be taxed USh 5, hence, your net pay will only increase by USh 95.
