Real tax rate

So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 8% tax rate now rises to 18.6%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 10.6% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 5,460 BHD a year living in Bahrain, you will be taxed 437 BHD. That means that your net pay will be 5,023 BHD per year, or 419 BHD per month. Your average tax rate is 8.0% and your marginal tax rate is 8.0%. 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 8 BHD, hence, your net pay will only increase by 92 BHD.
