Real tax rate
23.3%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 11.7% tax rate now rises to 23.3%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 11.6% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make RM 38,880 a year living in Malaysia, you will be taxed RM 4,567. That means that your net pay will be RM 34,313 per year, or RM 2,859 per month. Your average tax rate is 11.8% and your marginal tax rate is 11.6%. 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 11.64, hence, your net pay will only increase by RM 88.36.
