Real tax rate
35.7%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 27% tax rate now rises to 35.7%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 8.7% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make RM 199,872 a year living in Malaysia, you will be taxed RM 53,912. That means that your net pay will be RM 145,960 per year, or RM 12,163 per month. Your average tax rate is 27.0% 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.
