Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 6,686 LL to pay you 40,000 LL. In other words, every time you spend 10 LL of your hard-earned money, 2.94 LL goes to the government.
Real tax rate
25.2%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 12.7% tax rate now rises to 25.2%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 12.5% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 83,200,000 LL a year living in Lebanon, you will be taxed 10,582,000 LL. That means that your net pay will be 72,618,000 LL per year, or 6,051,500 LL per month. Your average tax rate is 12.7% and your marginal tax rate is 16.0%. 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 16 LL, hence, your net pay will only increase by 84 LL.
Bonus Example
A 1,000 LL bonus will generate an extra 840 LL of net incomes. A 5,000 LL bonus will generate an extra 4,200 LL of net incomes.
