So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 27.4% tax rate now rises to 34%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 6.6% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary

If you make USh 14,171,227 a year living in Uganda, you will be taxed USh 3,883,304. That means that your net pay will be USh 10,287,923 per year, or USh 857,327 per month. Your average tax rate is 27.4% and your marginal tax rate is 35.3%. 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 35.3, hence, your net pay will only increase by UGX 64.7.

Bonus Example

A UGX 1,000 bonus will generate an extra UGX 647 of net incomes. A UGX 5,000 bonus will generate an extra UGX 3,235 of net incomes.
