Summary
If you make 22,090 BHD a year living in Bahrain, you will be taxed 1,767 BHD. That means that your net pay will be 20,323 BHD per year, or 1,694 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.
