Real tax rate

So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 35% tax rate now rises to 42.5%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 7.5% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make RM 1,129,176 a year living in Malaysia, you will be taxed RM 395,056. That means that your net pay will be RM 734,120 per year, or RM 61,177 per month. Your average tax rate is 35.0% and your marginal tax rate is 38.6%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate.
