Calculate Emerick's monthly taxable income and PAYE, given his basic salary, allowances, and the tax bands.

Step 1: Calculate Emerick's monthly taxable income. Taxable income includes the basic salary and all taxable allowances. The transport allowance is stated as non-taxable. Taxable Income = Basic Salary + House Allowance + Medical Allowance Taxable Income = Kshs 38,780 + Kshs 10,900 + Kshs 3,850 Taxable Income = Kshs 53,530 The monthly taxable income is Kshs 53,530. Step 2: Calculate Emerick's monthly Pay As You Earn (PAYE). We use the provided tax table, interpreting "Tax rate (Kshs per Kshs)" as a percentage. First band: Kshs 1 - 12,000 at 2\% Tax_1 = 12,000 × 0.02 = Kshs 240 Second band: Kshs 12,001 - 22,500 (range of 10,500) at 3\% Tax_2 = (22,500 - 12,000) × 0.03 = 10,500 × 0.03 = Kshs 315 Third band: Kshs 22,501 - 33,000 (range of 10,500) at 4\% Tax_3 = (33,000 - 22,500) × 0.04 = 10,500 \
