Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer RM 7,339 to pay you RM 49,236. In other words, every time you spend RM 10 of your hard-earned money, RM 2.77 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
24.1%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 12.8% tax rate now rises to 24.1%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 11.3% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make RM 49,236 a year living in Malaysia, you will be taxed RM 6,309. That means that your net pay will be RM 42,927 per year, or RM 3,577 per month. Your average tax rate is 12.8% and your marginal tax rate is 27.8%. 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 27.84, hence, your net pay will only increase by RM 72.16.
