Real tax rate
0.9%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 0.4% tax rate now rises to 0.9%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 0.5% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 777,528 KWD a year living in Kuwait, you will be taxed 3,255 KWD. That means that your net pay will be 774,273 KWD per year, or 64,523 KWD per month.
