Summary
If you make RM 40,625,000 a year living in Malaysia, you will be taxed RM 16,570,514. That means that your net pay will be RM 24,054,486 per year, or RM 2,004,540 per month. Your average tax rate is 40.8% and your marginal tax rate is 41.0%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate.
