Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 18,960 SAR to pay you 157,997 SAR. In other words, every time you spend 10 SAR of your hard-earned money, 2.20 SAR goes to the government.
Real tax rate
19.6%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 10% tax rate now rises to 19.6%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 9.6% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 157,997 SAR a year living in Saudi Arabia, you will be taxed 15,800 SAR. That means that your net pay will be 142,197 SAR per year, or 11,850 SAR per month. Your average tax rate is 10.0% and your marginal tax rate is 10.0%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate.
