  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\text{Taxable Income} = \text{Basic Salary} + \text{House Allowance} + \text{Medical Allowance} Taxable Income=Kshs 38,780+Kshs 10,900+Kshs 3,850\text{Taxable Income} = \text{Kshs } 38,780 + \text{Kshs } 10,900 + \text{Kshs } 3,850 Taxable Income=Kshs 53,530\text{Taxable Income} = \text{Kshs } 53,530

    The monthly taxable income is Kshs 53,530\boxed{\text{Kshs } 53,530}.

  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 1−12,0001 - 12,000 at 2%2\% Tax1=12,000×0.02=Kshs 240\text{Tax}_1 = 12,000 \times 0.02 = \text{Kshs } 240
    • Second band: Kshs 12,001−22,50012,001 - 22,500 (range of 10,500) at 3%3\% Tax2=(22,500−12,000)×0.03=10,500×0.03=Kshs 315\text{Tax}_2 = (22,500 - 12,000) \times 0.03 = 10,500 \times 0.03 = \text{Kshs } 315
    • Third band: Kshs 22,501−33,00022,501 - 33,000 (range of 10,500) at 4%4\% Tax3=(33,000−22,500)×0.04=10,500×0.04=Kshs 420\text{Tax}_3 = (33,000 - 22,500) \times 0.04 = 10,500 \times 0.04 = \text{Kshs } 420
    • Fourth band: Kshs 33,001−43,50033,001 - 43,500 (range of 10,500) at 5%5\% Tax4=(43,500−33,000)×0.05=10,500×0.05=Kshs 525\text{Tax}_4 = (43,500 - 33,000) \times 0.05 = 10,500 \times 0.05 = \text{Kshs } 525
    • Fifth band: Remaining income above Kshs 43,500 at 6%6\% The taxable income is Kshs 53,530. Taxable income in this band=53,530−43,500=Kshs 10,030\text{Taxable income in this band} = 53,530 - 43,500 = \text{Kshs } 10,030 Tax5=10,030×0.06=Kshs 601.80\text{Tax}_5 = 10,030 \times 0.06 = \text{Kshs } 601.80

    Total gross tax (PAYE before relief):

    Gross PAYE=Tax1+Tax2+Tax3+Tax4+Tax5\text{Gross PAYE} = \text{Tax}_1 + \text{Tax}_2 + \text{Tax}_3 + \text{Tax}_4 + \text{Tax}_5 Gross PAYE=240+315+420+525+601.80=Kshs 2,101.80\text{Gross PAYE} = 240 + 315 + 420 + 525 + 601.80 = \text{Kshs } 2,101.80

    Subtract the personal tax relief of Kshs 1,054:

    Net PAYE=Gross PAYE−Personal Tax Relief\text{Net PAYE} = \text{Gross PAYE} - \text{Personal Tax Relief} Net PAYE=2,101.80−1,054=Kshs 1,047.80\text{Net PAYE} = 2,101.80 - 1,054 = \text{Kshs } 1,047.80

    Emerick's monthly Pay As You Earn (PAYE) is Kshs 1,047.80\boxed{\text{Kshs } 1,047.80}.

  3. Calculate Emerick's net monthly salary.

    First, calculate the total gross monthly earnings (basic salary + all allowances, including non-taxable).

    Gross Earnings=Basic Salary+House Allowance+Medical Allowance+Transport Allowance\text{Gross Earnings} = \text{Basic Salary} + \text{House Allowance} + \text{Medical Allowance} + \text{Transport Allowance} Gross Earnings=38,780+10,900+3,850+5,200=Kshs 58,730\text{Gross Earnings} = 38,780 + 10,900 + 3,850 + 5,200 = \text{Kshs } 58,730

    Next, calculate the total deductions.

    Total Deductions=NHIF+Bank Loan+WCPS+Net PAYE\text{Total Deductions} = \text{NHIF} + \text{Bank Loan} + \text{WCPS} + \text{Net PAYE} Total Deductions=3,000+7,568+780+1,047.80=Kshs 12,395.80\text{Total Deductions} = 3,000 + 7,568 + 780 + 1,047.80 = \text{Kshs } 12,395.80

    Finally, calculate the net monthly salary.

    Net Monthly Salary=Gross Earnings−Total Deductions\text{Net Monthly Salary} = \text{Gross Earnings} - \text{Total Deductions} Net Monthly Salary=58,730−12,395.80=Kshs 46,334.20\text{Net Monthly Salary} = 58,730 - 12,395.80 = \text{Kshs } 46,334.20

    Emerick's net monthly salary is Kshs 46,334.20\boxed{\text{Kshs } 46,334.20}.
