Payroll and NSSF
We run your payroll, calculate PAYE and NSSF contributions, and file and remit them each month.

Common questions
When are PAYE and NSSF due?
Both are due by the 15th of the month after the salaries are paid. We prepare them ahead of that date.
How much is the NSSF contribution?
Currently 15% of an employee’s gross pay: 10% paid by the employer and 5% deducted from the employee. We use the rates in force when we calculate your payroll.
