Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 2 KWD to pay you 88 KWD. In other words, every time you spend KWD 10 of your hard-earned money, KWD 0.45 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
4.4%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 2.3% tax rate now rises to 4.4%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 2.1% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary

If you make 182,208 KWD a year living in Kuwait, you will be taxed 3,255 KWD. That means that your net pay will be 178,953 KWD per year, or 14,913 KWD per month. Your average tax rate is 1.8% and your marginal tax rate is 0.0%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate. For instance, an increase of KWD 100 in your salary will be taxed KWD 0, hence, your net pay will only increase by KWD 100.

Bonus Example

A KWD 1,000 bonus will generate an extra KWD 1,000 of net incomes. A KWD 5,000 bonus will generate an extra KWD 5,000 of net incomes.
