Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer RM 782 to pay you RM 5,373. In other words, every time you spend RM 10 of your hard-earned money, RM 2.92 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
25.5%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 14.7% tax rate now rises to 25.5%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 10.8% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make RM 64,476 a year living in Malaysia, you will be taxed RM 9,478. That means that your net pay will be RM 54,998 per year, or RM 4,583 per month. Your average tax rate is 14.7% and your marginal tax rate is 23.7%. 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 23.73, hence, your net pay will only increase by RM 76.27.
Bonus Example
A RM 1,000 bonus will generate an extra RM 763 of net incomes. A RM 5,000 bonus will generate an extra RM 3,814 of net incomes.
