Real tax rate
9.1%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 4.3% tax rate now rises to 9.1%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 4.8% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 75,276 KWD a year living in Kuwait, you will be taxed 3,255 KWD. That means that your net pay will be 72,021 KWD per year, or 6,002 KWD per month.
