Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer RM 89,967 to pay you RM 691,492. In other words, every time you spend RM 10 of your hard-earned money, RM 5.30 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
46.9%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 40% tax rate now rises to 46.9%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 6.9% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make RM 8,297,904 a year living in Malaysia, you will be taxed RM 3,316,082. That means that your net pay will be RM 4,981,822 per year, or RM 415,152 per month. Your average tax rate is 40.0% and your marginal tax rate is 41.0%. 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 41, hence, your net pay will only increase by RM 59.
Bonus Example
A RM 1,000 bonus will generate an extra RM 590 of net incomes. A RM 5,000 bonus will generate an extra RM 2,950 of net incomes.
