Amount teachers from B5 to D5 will pay in July housing levy

Teachers employed by Teachers Service Commission (TSC) will contribute through deductions from their payslip 1.5% of their salaries that will go towards the housing fund.

The contribution starts from 1st July 2023. Yesterday President William Ruto signed into law, the controversial Finance Bill 2023, which was passed by the National Assembly, hence making the contribution mandatory.

Teachers will see 1.5 per cent of their basic salary missing in their July payslip. Many teachers do not know how much this translates to.
