Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer RM 5.40 to pay you RM 37. In other words, every time you spend RM 10 of your hard-earned money, RM 1.95 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
17.0%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 4.9% tax rate now rises to 17.0%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 12.1% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make RM 37 a year living in Malaysia, you will be taxed RM 1.80. That means that your net pay will be RM 35.20 per year, or RM 2.93 per month. Your average tax rate is 4.9% and your marginal tax rate is 27.7%. 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 27.72, hence, your net pay will only increase by RM 72.28.
Bonus Example
A RM 1,000 bonus will generate an extra RM 723 of net incomes. A RM 5,000 bonus will generate an extra RM 3,614 of net incomes.
