When it comes to payday, there’s always that one burning question on every employee’s mind: “How much will actually hit my account after all the deductions?”
Gross salary may look glamorous on paper, but the real story is told by net pay—the amount you actually take home. Or as we like to say in Nairobi: “Iyo figure ya payslip juu ni kionjo tu, hio ya chini ndiyo reality.”
That’s exactly where the FaidiHR Net Pay Calculator comes in.
What Is Net Pay?
Think of your salary like a cake. The gross pay is the full cake—big, fluffy, and sweet-looking. But before you can slice into it, a few uninvited guests show up: KRA, NHIF, NSSF… even HELB sometimes. By the time everyone takes a piece, what’s left is your net pay.
Or simply put: “Gross ni kionjo, net ndiyo inashika wallet.”
Why Should You Care About Net Pay?
-
Budgeting Power – You can’t plan life with imaginary money. Wewe huwezi lipa rent na story za gross.
-
Salary Negotiations – That 80K offer might sound good until deductions humble it down to 55K. Utashangaa.
-
Financial Confidence – Once you understand your payslip, no one can confuse you. Hakuna mtu atakuchanganya na figures za juu juu.
Let’s Break It Down
-
PAYE (Pay As You Earn): KRA’s cut. Trust me, hawana mchezo.
-
NHIF (National Hospital Insurance Fund): Contribution for healthcare. Small now, useful when things go south.
-
NSSF (National Social Security Fund): Retirement savings mtu huzeeka bwana, hio ni akiba ya kesho.
-
Other Deductions: HELB, Sacco, company stuff. Basically kila mtu anataka share yake.
Relax though the FaidiHR Calculator does the math for you. Hakuna kuchemsha kichwa.

Imagine your gross pay is KES 100,000.
-
PAYE: around KES 25,000
-
NHIF: about KES 1,700
-
NSSF: KES 1,080
Net Pay ≈ KES 72,220
That’s the difference between saying “leo nachafua town” and then realizing “wachana tu, wacha nile maharagwe na ugali.”
