Summary
If you make 18,000 KWD a year living in Kuwait, you will be taxed 1,980 KWD. That means that your net pay will be 16,020 KWD per year, or 1,335 KWD per month. Your average tax rate is 11.0% and your marginal tax rate is 8.5%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate. For instance, an increase of 100 KWD in your salary will be taxed 8.50 KWD, hence, your net pay will only increase by 91.50 KWD.
