The Affordable Housing Levy: A Simple Employer's Guide

The Affordable Housing Levy requires employers to deduct 1.5% of an employee's gross monthly salary, and to match it with a further 1.5% as the employer's contribution.

The basics The levy is computed on gross pay and must be remitted to the KRA by the statutory deadline each month. Both the employee deduction and the employer contribution are payable.

Common mistakes Businesses often miscalculate the base, forget the employer's matching portion, or miss the remittance deadline. Each of these carries penalties and interest.

Stay compliant We build the levy into your payroll run automatically, so the right amount is deducted, matched and remitted without you having to think about it.
