Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer RM 130,927 to pay you RM 1,000,000. In other words, every time you spend RM 10 of your hard-earned money, RM 4.76 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
42.1%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 34.5% tax rate now rises to 42.1%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 7.6% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary

If you make RM 1,000,000 a year living in Malaysia, you will be taxed RM 345,205. That means that your net pay will be RM 654,795 per year, or RM 54,566 per month. Your average tax rate is 34.5% and your marginal tax rate is 38.6%. 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 38.6, hence, your net pay will only increase by RM 61.4.

Bonus Example

A RM 1,000 bonus will generate an extra RM 614 of net incomes. A RM 5,000 bonus will generate an extra RM 3,070 of net incomes.
