July Payslip List of Deductions a Teacher Should Expect
July Payslip List of Deductions a Teacher Should Expect. Along with their July salaries, all Teachers Service Commission (TSC) teachers will receive bonuses. Teachers will notice a 7% raise in their base pay in their payslips for July.
All public personnel (teachers and government employees) will begin receiving pay rises of 7% to 10% on July 1 thanks to a directive from President William Ruto to SRC.
There will be a number of salary deductions, some of which will go into effect this month of July.
REQUIRED DEDUCTIONS
1. Pay As You Earn
Teachers will have 30% of their gross pay withheld for PAYE taxes, starting with the lowest job category (B5) and ending with the highest (D5).
2. Provident Fund
In order to participate in the Public Service Superannuation Scheme (PSSS), teachers who are 45 years of age or younger must contribute 7.5% of their base wage.
In a defined contribution pension plan, the funding of the plan is financed on behalf of both the employer and the employee.
Calling the USSD code *378# will verify an account by asking for the user’s ID number and a password.
The beneficiaries, any modifications, and your contribution and balance to your provident fund will all be visible at that point.
3. Knut, Kuppet, Kusnet, and Kewota’s deductions
2% of the base pay for teachers in elementary schools will be deducted for Knut. Teachers in secondary and higher education will have 1.8% of their base wage deducted in order to support Kuppet.
Teachers in special education must pay 1.45% of their base salary to Kusnet as a donation. 200 shillings will be forfeited by female instructors and donated to Kewota.
4. Housing Fund
Teachers’ paychecks in July will include a new deduction. The equivalent of this House Levy will be 1.5 percent of gross salary.

5. Deductions for loans and premiums
Payslip deductions for loan repayment may be visible to teachers who have loans from banks, saccos, or even microloans.
Some teachers have invested in the insurance industry by buying insurance, but they run the danger of not being able to make good on the money they committed to giving the insurance firm as premium.
7. Exorbitant Personal Loan Rates
The Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) raised its lending rate to commercial banks from 9.5% to 10.5%.
This suggests that teachers will take out loans with higher interest rates and repay them.
Due to rising interest rates, teachers will have to make additional payments to repay their loans. The rising rates will cost teachers more money by raising the cost of things on the shelves in addition to bank borrowing. This is CBK’s highest loan rate since 2016.
PROPOSED DIMINISHMENTS
6. NHIF deduction (2.75%)
In order to increase pay equity, President William Ruto suggested amendments to the National Hospital Insurance Fund (NHIF) on June 26, 2023.
The plan from the Head of State calls for Kenyans to provide the national insurer 2.75 percent of their gross income.
