Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 733,196 LL to pay you 5,275,833 LL. In other words, every time you spend 10 LL of your hard-earned money, 2.86 LL goes to the government.
Real tax rate
25.1%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 14.7% tax rate now rises to 25.1%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 10.4% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 126,619,992 LL a year living in Lebanon, you will be taxed 18,660,198 LL. That means that your net pay will be 107,959,794 LL per year, or 8,996,649 LL per month. Your average tax rate is 14.7% and your marginal tax rate is 21.0%. 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 21 LL, hence, your net pay will only increase by 79 LL.
Bonus Example
A 1,000 LL bonus will generate an extra 790 LL of net incomes. A 5,000 LL bonus will generate an extra 3,950 LL of net incomes.
