Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 5,400 SAR to pay you 1,330,000 SAR. In other words, every time you spend 10 SAR of your hard-earned money, 0.07 SAR goes to the government.
Real tax rate
0.7%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 0.3% tax rate now rises to 0.7%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 0.4% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 15,960,000 SAR a year living in Saudi Arabia, you will be taxed 54,000 SAR. That means that your net pay will be 15,906,000 SAR per year, or 1,325,500 SAR per month. Your average tax rate is 0.3% and your marginal tax rate is 0.0%. 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 0 SAR, hence, your net pay will only increase by 100 SAR.
Bonus Example
A 1,000 SAR bonus will generate an extra 1,000 SAR of net incomes. A 5,000 SAR bonus will generate an extra 5,000 SAR of net incomes.
