I will build kenyan payroll software with paye, shif and nssf compliance


About this gig
Need payroll software that actually calculates PAYE, SHIF, and NSSF correctly and automatically every pay period? I build custom payroll systems for Kenyan businesses- real software, not manual bookkeeping.
I built and maintain a production payroll engine handling statutory Kenyan deductions for a live accounting/CRM platform serving 30+ daily users, with automated double-entry ledger posting so every payroll run reconciles correctly against your books.
What I deliver:
- Automated PAYE, SHIF (2.75% of gross, via SHA), and NSSF calculation engine
- Payslip generation
- Support for multiple employees and varying salary structures
- Integration into your existing system, or built standalone
- Clean, auditable records for every pay run
I work in Python/Django and React, so this can be a standalone payroll tool or built directly into a larger business system. If you're currently running payroll manually, on outdated NHIF logic, or in spreadsheets, this is exactly what I do.

FAQ
Is this up to date with the NHIF-to-SHIF transition?
Yes — the system is built on the current SHIF model (2.75% of gross via SHA), not the old NHIF banded structure. All statutory rates (PAYE, SHIF, NSSF) are kept configurable rather than hardcoded, so it stays compliant as thresholds change in the future.
Can this integrate with my existing accounting or HR system?
Yes. I can build it into an existing Django/Python or React system, connect it via API to another platform, or deliver it as a standalone tool—whichever fits your setup.
Does it handle multiple employees with different salary structures?
Yes, the system supports multiple employees with varying salaries, allowances, and deductions.
Do I need to provide my own tax/statutory rate tables?
No — current PAYE bands, the SHIF rate, and NSSF contribution rules are built in from the start. You'll just need to confirm any company-specific details, like allowances or benefits structure.
