Real tax rate
12.9%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 6.3% tax rate now rises to 12.9%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 6.6% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 51,768 KWD a year living in Kuwait, you will be taxed 3,255 KWD. That means that your net pay will be 48,513 KWD per year, or 4,043 KWD per month.
