Real tax rate
1.8%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 0.8% tax rate now rises to 1.8%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 1% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 408,204 KWD a year living in Kuwait, you will be taxed 3,255 KWD. That means that your net pay will be 404,949 KWD per year, or 33,746 KWD per month.
