Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer RM 1,468 to pay you RM 10,996. In other words, every time you spend RM 10 of your hard-earned money, RM 4.23 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
37.3%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 28.9% tax rate now rises to 37.3%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 8.4% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make RM 263,904 a year living in Malaysia, you will be taxed RM 76,304. That means that your net pay will be RM 187,600 per year, or RM 15,633 per month. Your average tax rate is 28.9% and your marginal tax rate is 35.2%. 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 35.16, hence, your net pay will only increase by RM 64.84.
Bonus Example
A RM 1,000 bonus will generate an extra RM 648 of net incomes. A RM 5,000 bonus will generate an extra RM 3,242 of net incomes.
