Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer RM 139,758 to pay you RM 1,075,000. In other words, every time you spend RM 10 of your hard-earned money, RM 5.38 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
47.7%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 40.8% tax rate now rises to 47.7%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 6.9% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make RM 55,900,000 a year living in Malaysia, you will be taxed RM 22,833,417. That means that your net pay will be RM 33,066,583 per year, or RM 2,755,549 per month. Your average tax rate is 40.9% 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.
