🇺🇬 Uganda
Uganda taxes employment income through PAYE (Pay As You Earn), a four-band monthly scale from 0% to 30% with an additional 10% on the portion above 10,000,000 UGX per month, giving a 40% top marginal rate (Uganda Revenue Authority, Income Tax Act Cap 340, Third Schedule), shown here annualised. The first 235,000 UGX per month is tax-free. PAYE applies to gross chargeable employment income with no standard deduction. The mandatory employee contribution is NSSF at 5% (uncapped), which is withheld but not deducted from the tax base. The Local Service Tax, a small local-government levy capped at 100,000 UGX per year, is not modelled.

What the calculation reproduces, what it does not model
The PAYE schedule (Income Tax Act Cap 340, Third Schedule) is applied to the entered gross as chargeable employment income. The employee NSSF contribution (5%, uncapped) is shown but not deducted from the PAYE base, as Uganda taxes gross employment income. The additional 10% on the portion above 10,000,000 UGX per month, giving a 40% top marginal rate, is modelled. The Local Service Tax, a local-government levy on annual income bands and capped at 100,000 UGX per year, is not modelled, and tax-exempt allowances are not separated out. For your situation, confirm with the URA.
