Summary

If you make RM 57,504 a year living in Malaysia, you will be taxed RM 8,033. That means that your net pay will be RM 49,471 per year, or RM 4,123 per month. Your average tax rate is 14.0% and your marginal tax rate is 18.4%. 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 18.4, hence, your net pay will only increase by RM 81.6.
