What is Gross Salary?
Gross salary is the total monthly pay before any deductions for PAYE, SHIF, NSSF, AHL, loans or pension.
A real Kenyan example
Employment letter says KES 100,000 monthly. That is gross. Net (after deductions) will be lower.
Why it matters
NSSF, SHIF and AHL are calculated on gross. Confusing gross and net leads to under-budgeted payroll.
