So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 33% tax rate now rises to 39.1%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 6.1% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary

If you make USh 53,300,000 a year living in Uganda, you will be taxed USh 17,579,000. That means that your net pay will be USh 35,721,000 per year, or USh 2,976,750 per month. Your average tax rate is 33.0% 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.
