Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer RM 49,650 to pay you RM 374,790. In other words, every time you spend RM 10 of your hard-earned money, RM 4.41 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
38.9%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 30.9% tax rate now rises to 38.9%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 8% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make RM 374,790 a year living in Malaysia, you will be taxed RM 115,656. That means that your net pay will be RM 259,134 per year, or RM 21,595 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.
Bonus Example
A RM 1,000 bonus will generate an extra RM 645 of net incomes. A RM 5,000 bonus will generate an extra RM 3,225 of net incomes.
