Real tax rate

So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 40.7% tax rate now rises to 47.5%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 6.8% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make RM 28,473,120 a year living in Malaysia, you will be taxed RM 11,588,122. That means that your net pay will be RM 16,884,998 per year, or RM 1,407,083 per month. Your average tax rate is 40.7% and your marginal tax rate is 41.0%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate.
