Payroll for Kenya

Payroll that keeps up with KRA so you don't have to

Current statutory rules shipped as updates, filings ready on time, payslips online, and every run posted to your books — payroll as a by-product of good records.

Sound familiar?

If any of these ring true, you are exactly who this was built for.

The spreadsheet with last year's bands

NSSF tiers and SHIF rules changed; your formulas found out at penalty time.

Filing-week reconstruction

Every 9th of the month is a scramble to make payroll, filings, and the ledger agree.

Payslip requests all day

HR as the answer desk for payslips, balances, and leave days.

Casuals paid off the books

Enumerators and casual workers on M-Pesa with no consistent records.

Frequently asked questions

What happens when statutory rates change?

The product updates; you review the first affected run against official rates and carry on. No formula edits, no forum threads about new bands.

Does it handle benefits and taxable perks?

Yes — housing, car, and other taxable benefits enter gross correctly, and per-diem policies can align with KRA thresholds so reimbursements stay non-taxable where they should.

Can employees see their own payslips?

Yes — self-service gives staff payslips, leave balances, and requests online, with role-based access keeping everything else out of view.

We are an NGO — can costs split across donors?

Yes, grant cost allocation is built in — see the dedicated page on NGO payroll for the donor-defensible setup.
