Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer RM 16,008 to pay you RM 115,624. In other words, every time you spend RM 10 of your hard-earned money, RM 3.50 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
30.7%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 21.2% tax rate now rises to 30.7%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 9.5% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make RM 115,624 a year living in Malaysia, you will be taxed RM 24,468. That means that your net pay will be RM 91,156 per year, or RM 7,596 per month. Your average tax rate is 21.2% and your marginal tax rate is 34.2%. 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 34.16, hence, your net pay will only increase by RM 65.84.
Bonus Example
A RM 1,000 bonus will generate an extra RM 658 of net incomes. A RM 5,000 bonus will generate an extra RM 3,292 of net incomes.
