Total tax paid
RM 51,710
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer RM 19,077 to pay you RM 138,996. In other words, every time you spend RM 10 of your hard-earned money, RM 3.72 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
32.7%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 23.5% tax rate now rises to 32.7%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 9.2% higher than what it seemed at first.
