Real tax rate
0.7%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 0.3% tax rate now rises to 0.7%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 0.4% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 994,752 KWD a year living in Kuwait, you will be taxed 3,255 KWD. That means that your net pay will be 991,497 KWD per year, or 82,625 KWD per month. Your average tax rate is 0.3% and your marginal tax rate is 0.0%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate.
