This calculator uses the resident monthly PAYE bands currently published by URA: no PAYE up to UGX 235,000, followed by 10%, 20% and 30% bands, plus an additional 10% on income above UGX 10 million. If a payroll form or proposed rate differs, confirm the implemented rate with URA before filing.

PAYE is calculated progressively, so only the portion of taxable monthly income inside each band is charged at that band鈥檚 rate. This calculator applies the published resident bands after estimating the employee NSSF deduction.

Keep the payslips showing each deduction and ask your employer for proof that its PAYE return and payment included your details. If the issue is not corrected, contact URA with those records. The calculator can estimate the deduction but cannot confirm remittance.

Your payslip may include taxable allowances, benefits, arrears, bonuses, loan deductions or an NSSF treatment that is not represented by a single gross-salary figure. Compare the taxable pay and each deduction line, not only the final net salary.

Yes. Switch the calculator to Net mode and enter the take-home salary. It estimates the gross salary that produces that net amount under the configured resident PAYE and employee NSSF rules. Treat the result as an estimate when your payslip has other deductions.
