Real tax rate
0.3%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 0.1% tax rate now rises to 0.3%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 0.2% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 2,427,876 KWD a year living in Kuwait, you will be taxed 3,255 KWD. That means that your net pay will be 2,424,621 KWD per year, or 202,052 KWD per month.
