PAYE is computed on gross pay (Rwanda does not allow RSSB as a tax deduction). The 60,001-100,000 RWF/month band is at the current transitional 10% rate. Pension (6%, raised from 3% in 2025, phasing toward 10% by 2030) and maternity (0.3%) are folded into the headline. CBHI community health insurance is also mandatory but is levied at 0.5% of NET pay (not gross), so it is disclosed here rather than folded into the rate; it adds a small further deduction. For your situation, confirm with the RRA.
