Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer RM 137 to pay you RM 780. In other words, every time you spend RM 10 of your hard-earned money, RM 3.17 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
27.0%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 14.2% tax rate now rises to 27.0%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 12.8% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make RM 780 a year living in Malaysia, you will be taxed RM 111. That means that your net pay will be RM 669 per year, or RM 55.79 per month. Your average tax rate is 14.2% and your marginal tax rate is 14.1%. 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 14.10, hence, your net pay will only increase by RM 85.90.
Bonus Example
A RM 1,000 bonus will generate an extra RM 859 of net incomes. A RM 5,000 bonus will generate an extra RM 4,295 of net incomes.
