KWD 284
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 148 KWD to pay you 1,235 KWD. In other words, every time you spend KWD 10 of your hard-earned money, KWD 2.3 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
20.5%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 11% tax rate now rises to 20.5%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 9.5% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary

If you make 14,820 KWD a year living in Kuwait, you will be taxed 1,630 KWD. That means that your net pay will be 13,190 KWD per year, or 1,099 KWD per month. Your average tax rate is 11.0% and your marginal tax rate is 11.0%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate. For instance, an increase of KWD 100 in your salary will be taxed KWD 11, hence, your net pay will only increase by KWD 89.

Bonus Example

A KWD 1,000 bonus will generate an extra KWD 890 of net incomes. A KWD 5,000 bonus will generate an extra KWD 4,450 of net incomes.
