Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 64,800 SAR to pay you 1,840,000 SAR. In other words, every time you spend 10 SAR of your hard-earned money, 0.65 SAR goes to the government.
Real tax rate

So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 2.9% tax rate now rises to 6.2%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 3.3% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 1,840,000 SAR a year living in Saudi Arabia, you will be taxed 54,000 SAR. That means that your net pay will be 1,786,000 SAR per year, or 148,833 SAR per month.
