Still running Kenyan payroll on spreadsheets?
Pay Kenya calculates and files PAYE, NSSF, SHIF, NITA, AHL and HELB, in one click. Payslips out, M-Pesa paid, KRA filed. Your whole pay run, done before your coffee's cold.
The spreadsheet always wins. Until it doesn't.
Manual payroll works right up to the month it doesn't: a wrong rate, a missed deadline, a payslip query you can't answer. Here's what Pay Kenya fixes.
Everything Kenyan payroll needs. Nothing it doesn't.
One-click statutory filings
PAYE, NSSF, SHIF, AHL, NITA and HELB calculated and filed together. Always current with the latest rates.
Automatic email payslips
Itemised payslips generated and sent to every employee on each pay run. No manual exporting.
M-Pesa & bank payouts
M-Pesa B2C bulk pay plus bank export files for Equity, KCB, Co-op, NCBA, ABSA, Stanbic, Stanchart and DTB.
Multiple organisations
Run several companies from one login, ideal for holding companies and overseas parents with a Kenyan subsidiary.
Leave & loan tracking
Leave balances flow straight into payroll. Manage employee loans with scheduled recovery from each pay run.
AI payroll agent
Run payroll with plain-language commands: "add a bonus for the sales team this month" and it's done.
BetaFounder rate: 50% off for 12 months.
Early customers lock in half price for a full year. No setup fees, no contracts, cancel anytime.

We switched from spreadsheets and a part-time bookkeeper. Pay Kenya runs our 32-person team in under an hour every month.
Onboarding took one afternoon. Our finance lead figured it out without a manual. That says everything.
Good questions, straight answers.
How long does onboarding take? +
Most Starter teams are live the same day. We import your employees, set up statutory details and run a test pay cycle with you. Larger teams of 25–50 are usually live within a week.
Can I migrate from Excel or Sage? +
Yes. We import employee data from Excel, Sage, QuickBooks or any other system. Send us your current records and we'll handle the migration and check the first run against your last payslips.
Is my data secure? +
Your data is encrypted in transit and at rest, hosted on secure cloud infrastructure with role-based access. Only people you authorise can see payroll. We never share your data.
What if I have more than 50 employees? +
We support larger teams and multi-entity groups on custom pricing. Message us on WhatsApp with your headcount and we'll put together a plan, including consolidated reporting if you run several companies.
