Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 5,400 دج to pay you 20,000 دج. In other words, every time you spend 10 دج of your hard-earned money, 3.60 دج goes to the government.
Real tax rate
28.3%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 9% tax rate now rises to 28.3%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 19.3% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 20,000 دج a year living in Algeria, you will be taxed 1,800 دج. That means that your net pay will be 18,200 دج per year, or 1,517 دج per month. Your average tax rate is 9.0% and your marginal tax rate is 9.0%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate. For instance, an increase of 100 دج in your salary will be taxed 9 دج, hence, your net pay will only increase by 91 دج.
Bonus Example
