SHIF Deduction Rate Explained
SHIF (Social Health Insurance Fund) replaced NHIF as Kenya's mandatory health contribution. It's a flat 2.75% of your gross cash salary, deducted monthly. To protect lower earners, there's a statutory minimum contribution of KES 300 per month — if 2.75% of your gross pay works out to less than that, the KES 300 floor applies instead.
What is the minimum SHIF contribution in Kenya?
