Managed payroll in Uganda
Managed payroll for teams employing people in Uganda. A specialist calculates PAYE, NSSF and Local Service Tax, reviews the run, and prepares your filings.
What goes into a Uganda payslip
| Item | Who pays | Basis |
|---|---|---|
| PAYE | Employee | Progressive monthly bands from 0% to 40%; tax-free up to 335,000 from 1 July 2026 |
| NSSF | Employee 5%, employer 10% | Percentage of gross pay |
| Local Service Tax | Employee | Set by local government schedules, banded by income |
These are the rates and structure our payslip calculator uses. Statutory rates change, so your OurPay specialist confirms current figures with URA and the relevant fund before every run.
How we run it
- You send the month's changes: hours, starters and leavers.
- We calculate PAYE and every statutory deduction for Uganda.
- A payroll specialist reviews the run.
