Real tax rate

Summary
If you make RM 373,958 a year living in Malaysia, you will be taxed RM 115,360. That means that your net pay will be RM 258,598 per year, or RM 21,550 per month. Your average tax rate is 30.9% 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 35.50, hence, your net pay will only increase by RM 64.50.
