Saudi Arabia Income Tax Calculator
Estimate income tax in Saudi Arabia across a tax-free allowance and two rate bands, with effective and marginal rates.
About Saudi Arabia Income Tax Calculator
Progressive systems tax each slice of income at its own rate rather than applying one rate to the whole amount. That is why the effective rate is always below the marginal rate — only the last slice is taxed at the top rate you reach. Indicative bands for Saudi Arabia. Confusing the marginal rate with the effective rate leads people to believe a pay rise leaves them worse off, which progressive banding never does.
