Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer RM 61,528 to pay you RM 466,155. In other words, every time you spend RM 10 of your hard-earned money, RM 4.50 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
39.8%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 31.8% tax rate now rises to 39.8%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 8% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make RM 466,155 a year living in Malaysia, you will be taxed RM 148,356. That means that your net pay will be RM 317,799 per year, or RM 26,483 per month. Your average tax rate is 31.8% and your marginal tax rate is 36.0%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate.
