Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer RM 66,023 to pay you RM 500,760. In other words, every time you spend RM 10 of your hard-earned money, RM 4.53 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
40.0%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 32.1% tax rate now rises to 40.0%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 7.9% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make RM 500,760 a year living in Malaysia, you will be taxed RM 160,807. That means that your net pay will be RM 339,953 per year, or RM 28,329 per month. Your average tax rate is 32.1% and your marginal tax rate is 36.0%. 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 35.98, hence, your net pay will only increase by RM 64.02.

A RM 1,000 bonus will generate an extra RM 640 of net incomes. A RM 5,000 bonus will generate an extra RM 3,201 of net incomes.
