Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer RM 26,380 to pay you RM 195,228. In other words, every time you spend RM 10 of your hard-earned money, RM 4.03 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
35.5%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 26.8% tax rate now rises to 35.5%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 8.7% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make RM 195,228 a year living in Malaysia, you will be taxed RM 52,307. That means that your net pay will be RM 142,921 per year, or RM 11,910 per month. Your average tax rate is 26.8% and your marginal tax rate is 34.6%. 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 34.56, hence, your net pay will only increase by RM 65.44.
