Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer USh 1,225 to pay you USh 12,250. In other words, every time you spend USh 10 of your hard-earned money, USh 4.08 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
37.1%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 30.8% tax rate now rises to 37.1%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 6.3% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make USh 25,480,000 a year living in Uganda, you will be taxed USh 7,842,000. That means that your net pay will be USh 17,638,000 per year, or USh 1,469,833 per month. Your average tax rate is 30.8% 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 USh 100 in your salary will be taxed USh 35, hence, your net pay will only increase by USh 65.
Bonus Example
A USh 1,000 bonus will generate an extra USh 650 of net incomes. A USh 5,000 bonus will generate an extra USh 3,250 of net incomes.
