Real tax rate
0.6%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 0.3% tax rate now rises to 0.6%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 0.3% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 1,198,656 KWD a year living in Kuwait, you will be taxed 3,255 KWD. That means that your net pay will be 1,195,401 KWD per year, or 99,617 KWD per month.
