Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer RM 12,569 to pay you RM 88,889. In other words, every time you spend RM 10 of your hard-earned money, RM 3.21 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
28.1%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 17.9% tax rate now rises to 28.1%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 10.2% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make RM 88,889 a year living in Malaysia, you will be taxed RM 15,945. That means that your net pay will be RM 72,944 per year, or RM 6,079 per month. Your average tax rate is 17.9% and your marginal tax rate is 30.6%. 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 30.55, hence, your net pay will only increase by RM 69.45.
