The employee will be subject to local taxes (currently around 35% of gross annual salary) and these will be deducted in the computation of the net amount payable.
Savings Potential
Savings potential depends on personal lifestyle choices, but many teachers at Woodland Star School are able to live comfortably and save a considerable portion of their income.
Accommodation
There is limited staff housing on campus available for about $250 per month. In the case that on-campus housing is unavailable, a $250 housing stipend will be given to expatriate staff.

For the staff and dependents (dependents: spouse or children under age of 18), the school will provide the following:

- One return flight per two-year contract cycle between Nairobi and the staff member's nearest major airport in their home country

Dependent Opportunities
All full-time and contracted teaching staff, both local and international recruits, are eligible for
free tuition for their dependents during the contracted time of employment.
Free tuition constitutes a taxable benefit (by Kenyan law), and as such all employees benefiting
from free tuition for their dependents are required to pay (around 30%) tax on this benefit.
Medical
The school will provide basic health insurance through a quality provider for in-country medical expenses (Hospitalization Only Medical Cover) for employee and dependents (dependents: spouse or children under age of 18) for Africa and 60 days abroad per annum (inclusive of US). If required, the employee may pay to join a higher level plan through the provider.
