Real tax rate

So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 24% tax rate now rises to 33.2%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 9.2% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make RM 146,111 a year living in Malaysia, you will be taxed RM 35,128. That means that your net pay will be RM 110,983 per year, or RM 9,249 per month. Your average tax rate is 24.0% and your marginal tax rate is 34.7%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate.
