Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer RM 14,037 to pay you RM 100,000. In other words, every time you spend RM 10 of your hard-earned money, RM 3.34 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
29.3%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 19.4% tax rate now rises to 29.3%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 9.9% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make RM 100,000 a year living in Malaysia, you will be taxed RM 19,398. That means that your net pay will be RM 80,602 per year, or RM 6,717 per month. Your average tax rate is 19.4% and your marginal tax rate is 31.7%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate. For instance, an increase of RM 100 in your salary will be taxed RM 31.73, hence, your net pay will only increase by RM 68.27.
Bonus Example
A RM 1,000 bonus will generate an extra RM 683 of net incomes. A RM 5,000 bonus will generate an extra RM 3,414 of net incomes.
