Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer RM 77.73 to pay you RM 323. In other words, every time you spend RM 10 of your hard-earned money, RM 4.33 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
34.9%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 19.2% tax rate now rises to 34.9%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 15.7% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make RM 323 a year living in Malaysia, you will be taxed RM 62.07. That means that your net pay will be RM 261 per year, or RM 21.74 per month. Your average tax rate is 19.2% and your marginal tax rate is 8.9%. 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 8.90, hence, your net pay will only increase by RM 91.10.
Bonus Example
A RM 1,000 bonus will generate an extra RM 911 of net incomes. A RM 5,000 bonus will generate an extra RM 4,555 of net incomes.
