NSSF is 6% of pensionable pay. Tier I covers pay up to KES 9,000 (maximum KES 540). Tier II is 6% of pay between KES 9,000 and the upper limit, capped at KES 5,940. The employer pays a matching amount.
The Social Health Insurance Fund deduction is 2.75% of gross pay, with a minimum of KES 300 a month.
