Summary

If you make 7,010 KWD a year living in Kuwait, you will be taxed 771 KWD. That means that your net pay will be 6,238 KWD per year, or 520 KWD per month. Your average tax rate is 11.0% and your marginal tax rate is 1.2%. 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 1.2, hence, your net pay will only increase by KWD 98.8.

Bonus Example

A KWD 1,000 bonus will generate an extra KWD 988 of net incomes. A KWD 5,000 bonus will generate an extra KWD 4,940 of net incomes.
