Calculation Explorer
See exactly how a salary structure works.
Overview
The calculation explorer shows every rule of a salary structure in order, with the formula behind it, the amount it produces and the running total until net salary. For Kenya that includes NSSF, SHA/SHIF, the Housing Levy, PAYE and relief. Nothing here is saved, so you can try figures freely.
