Real tax rate

So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 6% tax rate now rises to 11.7%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 5.7% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make K 10,020 a year living in Zambia, you will be taxed K 601. That means that your net pay will be K 9,419 per year, or K 785 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.
