Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer USh 2,847 to pay you USh 28,470. In other words, every time you spend UGX 10 of your hard-earned money, UGX 1.5 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 28,470 a year living in Uganda, you will be taxed USh 1,424. That means that your net pay will be USh 27,047 per year, or USh 2,254 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.

Bonus Example

A UGX 1,000 bonus will generate an extra UGX 950 of net incomes. A UGX 5,000 bonus will generate an extra UGX 4,750 of net incomes.
