Real tax rate
0.1%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 0% tax rate now rises to 0.1%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 0.1% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 9,313,920 KWD a year living in Kuwait, you will be taxed 3,255 KWD. That means that your net pay will be 9,310,665 KWD per year, or 775,889 KWD per month.
