Questions

How is NSSF calculated in Kenya?
NSSF is contributed on pensionable pay in two tiers: Tier I on pay up to the lower earnings limit, and Tier II from the lower to the upper earnings limit. The employee is deducted a percentage and the employer matches it. Pay above the upper limit is not subject to NSSF.
Does the employer also pay NSSF?
Yes. The employer matches the employee contribution tier for tier. This calculator shows both sides and the total going to NSSF, with the rate's source and effective date.
