Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer RM 17,188 to pay you RM 125,077. In other words, every time you spend RM 10 of your hard-earned money, RM 3.59 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
31.6%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 22.1% tax rate now rises to 31.6%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 9.5% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make RM 125,077 a year living in Malaysia, you will be taxed RM 27,697. That means that your net pay will be RM 97,380 per year, or RM 8,115 per month. Your average tax rate is 22.1% 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.
