Real tax rate

Summary

If you make RM 389,567 a year living in Malaysia, you will be taxed RM 120,901. That means that your net pay will be RM 268,666 per year, or RM 22,389 per month. Your average tax rate is 31.0% 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 35.5, hence, your net pay will only increase by RM 64.5.
