Real tax rate
37.4%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 29.1% tax rate now rises to 37.4%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 8.3% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make RM 271,155 a year living in Malaysia, you will be taxed RM 78,857. That means that your net pay will be RM 192,298 per year, or RM 16,025 per month. Your average tax rate is 29.1% and your marginal tax rate is 35.5%. 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 35.54, hence, your net pay will only increase by RM 64.46.
