Employment basics in Kenya.
The rules every HR team there works with. Check the sources for your own case.

| Annual leave | 21 working days on full pay after 12 months in a row |
| Income tax | PAYE, collected by KRA, in bands from 10% to 35%, with a personal relief of KES 2,400 a month |
| NSSF | 6% from the employee and 6% from the employer, between earnings limits that rise each February |
| SHIF | 2.75% of gross pay, paid by the employee to the Social Health Authority; it replaced NHIF in October 2024 |
| Housing levy | 1.5% from the employee and 1.5% from the employer, on gross pay, through KRA |
| Notice | 28 days for monthly-paid staff, one pay period for weekly or fortnightly pay, and 7 days on probation |

Questions, answered.
Does Leagrow run payroll in Kenya?
Yes, in KES, on your own pay items and deductions. Kenya's ready-made rules for PAYE, NSSF, SHIF and the housing levy aren't built in yet. Ask us and we add them, which takes days, not months.
Can I set leave to Kenya's 21 working days?
Yes. You set up your own leave types in Leagrow HR, with the number of days, how they're earned, carry-forward and approvals.
Can I add Kenya's public holidays?
Yes. You keep a public holiday list for each office, and attendance and payroll treat those days as holidays.
How much does Leagrow cost?
Every product is free for up to 10 people, with no time limit. After that it's $1 per person per month, and Recruitment is $50 per seat. AI is included on every plan, the free plan too.
