Total tax paid
RM 7
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer RM 5 to pay you RM 27. In other words, every time you spend RM 10 of your hard-earned money, RM 2.59 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
21.9%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 7.4% tax rate now rises to 21.9%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 14.5% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary

If you make RM 27 a year living in Malaysia, you will be taxed RM 2. That means that your net pay will be RM 25 per year, or RM 2 per month. Your average tax rate is 6.7% and your marginal tax rate is 24.1%. 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 24.1, hence, your net pay will only increase by RM 75.9.

Bonus Example

A RM 1,000 bonus will generate an extra RM 759 of net incomes. A RM 5,000 bonus will generate an extra RM 3,795 of net incomes.
