Real tax rate

So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 10.5% tax rate now rises to 16.0%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 5.5% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make K 63,231 a year living in Zambia, you will be taxed K 6,663. That means that your net pay will be K 56,568 per year, or K 4,714 per month. Your average tax rate is 10.5% and your marginal tax rate is 31.3%. 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 31.32, hence, your net pay will only increase by K 68.68.
