Real tax rate

So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 35.2% tax rate now rises to 42.7%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 7.5% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make RM 1,207,505 a year living in Malaysia, you will be taxed RM 425,284. That means that your net pay will be RM 782,221 per year, or RM 65,185 per month. Your average tax rate is 35.2% 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 38.59, hence, your net pay will only increase by RM 61.41.
