Frequently asked questions
How much is the Housing Levy in Kenya?+
The Affordable Housing Levy is 1.5% of gross pay from the employee and 1.5% from the employer, with no upper limit.
Is the Housing Levy tax deductible?+
Yes. Since December 2024 the employee's Housing Levy is deducted from gross pay before PAYE is calculated, so it lowers taxable pay.
Who collects the Housing Levy?+
Employers deduct it through payroll and remit it to KRA together with PAYE, by the 9th of the following month.
