Free job search tools for Kenya
Work out what salary to ask for, check an overtime payment, compare two offers, build a CV and spot a fake job. They're free, with no sign-up, and what you type stays in your browser.
Every tool runs only in your browser. Nothing you type is sent anywhere. No signup.
Take-home pay calculator
Type your gross pay and see each deduction and what reaches your account.
Open toolWhat salary to ask for
To take home KES 30,000 a month, you need to ask for about KES 35,700 gross. Type the amount you need and this tool works back through NSSF, SHIF, the housing levy and PAYE.
Open toolCompare two job offers
A higher salary doesn't always leave you more. Type both offers and your commute, and see what's left each month after deductions and travel.
Open toolOvertime pay calculator
In Kenya your hourly rate for overtime is at least your basic monthly pay divided by 225. You get time and a half for hours over your normal week, and double time on your rest day or a public holiday.
Open toolCV builder
Fill in the form and save a clean, one column CV as a PDF. It's free, with no sign-up and no payment at the end. Your details stay in your browser.
Open toolApplication email and cover letter
Fill in the job, the employer and what you've done, and get a subject line, an email and a letter ready to copy. It sends nothing for you, so you stay in charge.
Open toolCV and advert word check
Paste your CV and the advert. You'll see which of the advert's main words your CV already has, and which it doesn't. It's a word check, not a prediction, and nothing is uploaded.
Open toolJob scam check
If anyone asks you to pay for a job, stop. Answer these questions about any offer and see which warning signs it shows. It gives you a risk level, not a verdict on any company.
Open toolApplication tracker
Write down each job as you apply, with its deadline and when to follow up. There's no account and no spreadsheet to set up, and your list stays in this browser.
Open toolInterview practice
Pick a job, read one question at a time, answer aloud against the timer, then see what a good answer covers. There are questions for drivers, cashiers, waiters, accounts staff, teachers and nurses.
Open toolThe pay tools use the rates in Kenyan law on 2 November 2026, with links to KRA, NSSF, the Social Health Authority and Kenya Law. Their answers are estimates, not tax or legal advice. Work.ke isn't a government site. Applying for a job is free, and nobody should pay for one.
