Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 32,408 LL to pay you 149,000 LL. In other words, every time you spend 10 LL of your hard-earned money, 3.23 LL goes to the government.
Real tax rate
26.5%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 10.5% tax rate now rises to 26.5%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 16% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 38,740,000 LL a year living in Lebanon, you will be taxed 4,078,800 LL. That means that your net pay will be 34,661,200 LL per year, or 2,888,433 LL per month. Your average tax rate is 10.5% and your marginal tax rate is 12.0%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate. For instance, an increase of 100 LL in your salary will be taxed 12 LL, hence, your net pay will only increase by 88 LL.
Bonus Example
A 1,000 LL bonus will generate an extra 880 LL of net incomes. A 5,000 LL bonus will generate an extra 4,400 LL of net incomes.
