How brackets work

A progressive bracket system only taxes the portion of income that falls inside each band at that band's rate — not your entire income at the top rate you reach. For example, if the first RM51,700 of income is taxed at a lower rate, only income above that threshold is taxed at the next rate up.

Run your own numbers with the calculator above to see exactly how much falls into each bracket.

Estimated rates — always verify current-year brackets with Malaysia's tax authority before filing.
