Real tax rate
25.2%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 14.3% tax rate now rises to 25.2%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 10.9% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make RM 61,663 a year living in Malaysia, you will be taxed RM 8,844. That means that your net pay will be RM 52,819 per year, or RM 4,402 per month. Your average tax rate is 14.3% and your marginal tax rate is 21.2%. 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 21.20, hence, your net pay will only increase by RM 78.80.
