Real tax rate
46.6%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 39.7% tax rate now rises to 46.6%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 6.9% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make RM 6,475,005 a year living in Malaysia, you will be taxed RM 2,568,675. That means that your net pay will be RM 3,906,330 per year, or RM 325,528 per month. Your average tax rate is 39.7% and your marginal tax rate is 41.0%. 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 41, hence, your net pay will only increase by RM 59.
