Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 162,572 LL to pay you 722,540 LL. In other words, every time you spend 10 LL of your hard-earned money, 3.09 LL goes to the government.
Real tax rate
25.3%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 8.4% tax rate now rises to 25.3%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 16.9% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 17,340,960 LL a year living in Lebanon, you will be taxed 1,464,096 LL. That means that your net pay will be 15,876,864 LL per year, or 1,323,072 LL per month. Your average tax rate is 8.4% and your marginal tax rate is 10.0%. 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 10 LL, hence, your net pay will only increase by 90 LL.
Bonus Example
A 1,000 LL bonus will generate an extra 900 LL of net incomes. A 5,000 LL bonus will generate an extra 4,500 LL of net incomes.
