Kenya Payroll for Odoo
PAYE bands, NSSF Tier I/II, SHIF and the Affordable Housing Levy — computed per employee
Run statutory Kenyan payroll directly in Odoo. This module computes PAYE, NSSF, SHIF and the Affordable Housing Levy for each employee, produces a payroll register (CSV and Excel) and a statutory remittance summary split by collecting agency (KRA, NSSF, SHA). It is built on the Human Resources app and carries its own payslip and computation models, so it needs no Enterprise payroll. Compatible with Odoo 18 and Odoo 19, Community and Enterprise.
PAYE on editable KRA bands
Monthly Pay As You Earn on the progressive KRA bands (10% / 25% / 30% / 32.5% / 35%). NSSF, SHIF and the employee Affordable Housing Levy are deducted from gross before the bands (Tax Laws (Amendment) Act 2024), and the gross tax is reduced by the personal relief. The band scale is a fully editable model, so you adjust it whenever the Finance Act changes.
NSSF Tier I & Tier II
Two-tier NSSF contributions under the NSSF Act 2013 with the Year-4 earnings limits effective 1 February 2026 (Lower KES 9,000, Upper KES 108,000) at 6% employee + 6% employer per tier, including a Tier II opt-out for contracted-out employees.
SHIF & Housing Levy
Social Health Insurance Fund (SHIF) at 2.75% of gross with the KES 300 monthly floor, plus the Affordable Housing Levy at 1.5% on the employee and 1.5% on the employer.
KRA PIN validation
The employee KRA PIN field is validated against the official format (A or P, nine digits, a check letter — e.g. A001234567Z) so bad PINs are caught before payroll is run.
Payroll runs & statutory register
Populate employees, compute every statutory deduction and net pay in one click, review run totals, and export a CSV or Excel payroll register. A statutory remittance summary wizard totals PAYE, NSSF, SHIF and the Housing Levy for a run so you know exactly what to remit to KRA, NSSF and SHA.
BYOK-friendly: the module produces the statutory figures and register files locally; you file them through KRA iTax, NSSF and SHA with your own credentials. No employee data leaves Odoo.
Disclosure: this module computes statutory deductions locally and produces register/summary files; it does not transmit any data to a third party. All rates, limits, bands and reliefs carry the current statutory defaults (including the 1 February 2026 NSSF caps); confirm them against the latest official KRA, NSSF and SHA guidance before running live payroll.
