Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 3,200 LL to pay you 14,221 LL. In other words, every time you spend 10 LL of your hard-earned money, 3.25 LL goes to the government.
Real tax rate
26.6%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 10% tax rate now rises to 26.6%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 16.6% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 29,579,680 LL a year living in Lebanon, you will be taxed 2,967,243 LL. That means that your net pay will be 26,612,437 LL per year, or 2,217,703 LL per month. Your average tax rate is 10.0% and your marginal tax rate is 14.8%. 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 14.84 LL, hence, your net pay will only increase by 85.16 LL.
Bonus Example
A 1,000 LL bonus will generate an extra 852 LL of net incomes. A 5,000 LL bonus will generate an extra 4,258 LL of net incomes.
