Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer RM 4,514 to pay you RM 30,034. In other words, every time you spend RM 10 of your hard-earned money, RM 2.68 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
23.3%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 11.8% tax rate now rises to 23.3%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 11.5% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make RM 30,034 a year living in Malaysia, you will be taxed RM 3,532. That means that your net pay will be RM 26,502 per year, or RM 2,209 per month. Your average tax rate is 11.8% and your marginal tax rate is 11.7%. 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 11.73, hence, your net pay will only increase by RM 88.27.
Bonus Example
A RM 1,000 bonus will generate an extra RM 883 of net incomes. A RM 5,000 bonus will generate an extra RM 4,414 of net incomes.
