Real tax rate

So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 36.4% tax rate now rises to 43.8%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 7.4% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make RM 1,780,003 a year living in Malaysia, you will be taxed RM 648,349. That means that your net pay will be RM 1,131,654 per year, or RM 94,305 per month. Your average tax rate is 36.4% and your marginal tax rate is 39.0%. 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 39, hence, your net pay will only increase by RM 61.
