Large, young, English-speaking workforce with a predominantly informal labour market. Employer on-costs run ~10% on top of gross salary. Here is what to know before your first Uganda hire.
Employment in Uganda runs under its national labour code, which sets the floor for wages, working hours, leave, and notice. Here are the essentials before you make an offer.
Employer on-costs in Uganda run ~10% of gross salary. Employers pay 10% of gross wages to NSSF, on top of the 5% employee share.
These statutory costs are paid at cost on top of TGTC's flat $499/mo fee, so you always see the real employer cost, not a marked-up percentage.
Employees pay their own income tax and social-security share, withheld at source. Under an EOR, TGTC runs that payroll withholding for you.
*All figures are estimates from public sources (2025-26), pending ops verification - same basis as the EOR cost calculator. Not tax or legal advice.
TGTC employs your hire in Uganda on a compliant local contract, runs payroll and benefits, and passes statutory costs through at cost. One invoice, flat $499 per month.
