Real tax rate

So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 7% tax rate now rises to 24.1%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 17.1% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 5,538 LL a year living in Lebanon, you will be taxed 388 LL. That means that your net pay will be 5,150 LL per year, or 429 LL per month.

For instance, an increase of 100 LL in your salary will be taxed 7 LL, hence, your net pay will only increase by 93 LL.
