Real tax rate

Summary
If you make 38,335 SAR a year living in Saudi Arabia, you will be taxed 3,834 SAR. That means that your net pay will be 34,502 SAR per year, or 2,875 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. For instance, an increase of 100 SAR in your salary will be taxed 10 SAR, hence, your net pay will only increase by 90 SAR.
