Summary
If you make K 5,000 a year living in Zambia, you will be taxed K 300. That means that your net pay will be K 4,700 per year, or K 392 per month. Your average tax rate is 6.0% and your marginal tax rate is 6.0%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate. For instance, an increase of K 100 in your salary will be taxed K 6, hence, your net pay will only increase by K 94.
Bonus Example
A K 1,000 bonus will generate an extra K 940 of net incomes. A K 5,000 bonus will generate an extra K 4,700 of net incomes.
