Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer RM 7,493 to pay you RM 50,404. In other words, every time you spend RM 10 of your hard-earned money, RM 2.80 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
24.4%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 13.2% tax rate now rises to 24.4%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 11.2% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make RM 50,404 a year living in Malaysia, you will be taxed RM 6,634. That means that your net pay will be RM 43,770 per year, or RM 3,648 per month. Your average tax rate is 13.2% 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.
Bonus Example
A RM 1,000 bonus will generate an extra RM 722 of net incomes. A RM 5,000 bonus will generate an extra RM 3,608 of net incomes.
