Open toolThe pay tools use GRA's PAYE bands from 1 September 2026 and SSNIT's 2026 limits, checked on 2 November 2026. They give estimates, not tax or legal advice. There's no overtime calculator, because the Labour Act sets no overtime rate for it to use. Applying for a job is free, and nobody should pay for one.
