Summary
If you make RM 128,700 a year living in Malaysia, you will be taxed RM 28,972. That means that your net pay will be RM 99,728 per year, or RM 8,311 per month. Your average tax rate is 22.5% and your marginal tax rate is 35.6%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate.
