Why a job at home has to pay more
Your Saudi salary arrives whole. In Nepal, income tax and compulsory contributions come off a salary before it reaches you. So to put the same amount in your hand, a local job has to pay more, and the difference is what the tax and contributions take.
On SAR 2,000 a month, that gap is the reason a job in Nepal needs to pay NRs 83,599 rather than NRs 82,739.
