Summary
If you make RM 20,000 a year living in Malaysia, you will be taxed RM 2,363. That means that your net pay will be RM 17,637 per year, or RM 1,470 per month. Your average tax rate is 11.8% and your marginal tax rate is 12.0%. 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 12, hence, your net pay will only increase by RM 88.
