Uganda has an annual tax-free threshold of UGX 2,350,000 for the 2026 tax year. This means you don't pay income tax on the first UGX 2,350,000 of annual income. Income above this threshold is taxed at progressive rates from 10% to 30% (up to 40% for very high earners).

NSSF (National Social Security Fund) is Uganda's social security system. Employees contribute approximately 5% of their salary for social security benefits including retirement, health insurance, and disability coverage.

The highest income tax rate in Uganda is 30% for annual income exceeding UGX 10,000,000, with rates up to 40% for very high earners. This applies to the portion of income above the threshold, while lower portions are taxed at progressively lower rates.
