RSSB contribution calculator

Enter a gross monthly salary and see every RSSB contribution, who pays it and the total the employer declares.

Useful for payroll and for checking your own payslip.

How it's calculated

Pension: 6% of gross salary from the employee and 6% from the employer.
Maternity leave scheme: 0.3% from the employee and 0.3% from the employer, also on gross salary.
RAMA medical scheme: 7.5% of basic salary from each side, only if the employee is a member.
CBHI: 0.5% of the employee's net salary (pay after PAYE, pension and maternity). The employer deducts it and pays it over.

An example

On a gross salary of RWF 300,000 the employee pays RWF 20,036 and the employer RWF 18,900, so RWF 38,936 goes to RSSB.

Frequently asked questions

Who declares RSSB contributions?

The employer. It can file them with PAYE in the unified declaration on the RRA system, or file each one separately.

Is CBHI paid by the employer too?

No. CBHI is paid by the employee alone. The employer only deducts it from pay and remits it.

Why is occupational hazards cover missing?

We could not confirm its current rate in an official RSSB or RRA source, so it is left out for now.

Key terms
