Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 158,411 LL to pay you 1,825,000 LL. In other words, every time you spend 10 LL of your hard-earned money, 3.32 LL goes to the government.
Real tax rate
30.6%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 24.6% tax rate now rises to 30.6%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 6% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 3,796,000,000 LL a year living in Lebanon, you will be taxed 932,070,000 LL. That means that your net pay will be 2,863,930,000 LL per year, or 238,660,833 LL per month. Your average tax rate is 24.6% and your marginal tax rate is 25.0%. 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 25 LL, hence, your net pay will only increase by 75 LL.
Bonus Example
A 1,000 LL bonus will generate an extra 750 LL of net incomes. A 5,000 LL bonus will generate an extra 3,750 LL of net incomes.
