Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer RM 30,892 to pay you RM 230,000. In other words, every time you spend RM 10 of your hard-earned money, RM 4.15 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
36.6%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 28% tax rate now rises to 36.6%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 8.6% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary

If you make RM 230,000 a year living in Malaysia, you will be taxed RM 64,470. That means that your net pay will be RM 165,530 per year, or RM 13,794 per month. Your average tax rate is 28.0% and your marginal tax rate is 34.4%. 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 34.4, hence, your net pay will only increase by RM 65.6.

Bonus Example
