Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer USh 16,900 to pay you USh 169,000. In other words, every time you spend USh 10 of your hard-earned money, USh 1.50 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
13.6%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 5% tax rate now rises to 13.6%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 8.6% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make USh 169,000 a year living in Uganda, you will be taxed USh 8,450. That means that your net pay will be USh 160,550 per year, or USh 13,379 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.
Bonus Example
A USh 1,000 bonus will generate an extra USh 950 of net incomes. A USh 5,000 bonus will generate an extra USh 4,750 of net incomes.
