Summary
If you make USh 59,400 a year living in Uganda, you will be taxed USh 2,970. That means that your net pay will be USh 56,430 per year, or USh 4,703 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.
