Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer RM 114,026 to pay you RM 870,000. In other words, every time you spend RM 10 of your hard-earned money, RM 4.72 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
41.7%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 34.1% tax rate now rises to 41.7%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 7.6% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary

If you make RM 870,000 a year living in Malaysia, you will be taxed RM 296,308. That means that your net pay will be RM 573,692 per year, or RM 47,808 per month. Your average tax rate is 34.1% and your marginal tax rate is 37.0%. 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 37, hence, your net pay will only increase by RM 63.
