Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 510 BHD to pay you 4,030 BHD. In other words, every time you spend 10 BHD of your hard-earned money, 2.05 BHD goes to the government.
Real tax rate
18.2%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 7.8% tax rate now rises to 18.2%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 10.4% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 48,360 BHD a year living in Bahrain, you will be taxed 3,775 BHD. That means that your net pay will be 44,585 BHD per year, or 3,715 BHD per month. Your average tax rate is 7.8% and your marginal tax rate is 5.2%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate. For instance, an increase of 100 BHD in your salary will be taxed 5.20 BHD, hence, your net pay will only increase by 94.80 BHD.
Bonus Example
A 1,000 BHD bonus will generate an extra 948 BHD of net incomes. A 5,000 BHD bonus will generate an extra 4,740 BHD of net incomes.
