Total tax paid
RM 232
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer RM 129 to pay you RM 731. In other words, every time you spend RM 10 of your hard-earned money, RM 3.18 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
27.0%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 14.2% tax rate now rises to 27.0%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 12.8% higher than what it seemed at first.
