The salary of a housemaid working in the USA can vary depending on several factors, such as the location, level of experience, and the specific responsibilities assigned.
It’s important to note that the information provided here is a general guideline and may not reflect the exact figures in every case.
In the USA, the average monthly salary for a housemaid ranges from $1,200 to $2,500. However, this can be higher or lower based on the factors mentioned earlier.
To convert this amount to Kenyan Shillings (KES), we need to consider the current exchange rate between the US Dollar (USD) and the Kenyan Shilling.
Please note that exchange rates fluctuate regularly, so the conversion may not be accurate at the time you read this. As of my knowledge cutoff in September 2021, the approximate exchange rate was 1 USD to 110 KES.
However, it’s essential to check with a reliable financial source for the most up-to-date exchange rate.

Using the above exchange rate, let’s calculate the approximate monthly salary of a housemaid in Kenya shillings based on different salary ranges in USD:
Lower Range:
Assuming a monthly salary of $1,200:
Conversion to KES: $1,200 * 110 = 132,000 KES
Mid Range:
Assuming a monthly salary of $1,800:
Conversion to KES: $1,800 * 110 = 198,000 KES
Higher Range:
Assuming a monthly salary of $2,500:
Conversion to KES: $2,500 * 110 = 275,000 KES
Please note that these calculations are approximations and should be used as a general reference. The actual conversion rates may differ based on various factors such as fees, commissions, and fluctuations in the exchange market.
It’s also worth mentioning that salaries in the USA are typically quoted on a gross basis, meaning they don’t account for deductions like taxes and other expenses.
It’s crucial to consider the net salary after deducting such expenses to get a clearer picture of the take-home pay.
Lastly, it’s important to comply with labor laws and regulations in both the USA and Kenya when employing or working as a housemaid.
These laws may include minimum wage requirements, working hours, and other employment conditions that vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction.
