As per popular demand and to show that I am serious (by posting this, I have already given up my 0 post record.

I am creating a poll in serious K/ on the topic of Salary range.

Is your current salary enough to sustain your lifestyle and have any extras for savings? What is your industry and background?
Any commitments? (House, shoplots, family, etc)

RM1800. Dah kena tolak gaji RM200

rm3000 is like a poor person in kl

Gross or nett, nvm has voted.

If the poll is correct, it should fall in line with the national B40/M40/T20 classification…

Even though posted in serious k, you do know votes are anonymous and we still can vote rubbish, right?

Why do you need this information?

Post in serious k but the poll has no bearing on anything

based on my current lifestyle + parents commitment + mortgage + insurance, give or take around RM7k in selangor/kl area. And that's very comfortable lifestyle in my book with over 20% of it put in food (i love food).

anything more than that can be put in saving.

Soon 1.7k/mth

U really wanna believe this poll?

Before i vote, i already know 20k will dominate

1. What is the primary objective of conducting this poll within the forum context?
2. What impact does the anonymous nature of the poll have on the accuracy and reliability of respondents' answers?
3. How does this poll contribute to broader conversations about compensation, income inequality, and work-life balance?

Does it matter ? How come so many salary threads in Serious K nowadays ?

Hopefully mods do something about it

single person,acktually 9k also poor,why?
becuase normally if a company can give 9k normally is white collor plus should be on kl,with a transport,car and daily commute,petrol eat(rm20 normally in kl).

9k actually goes to ur hand only 7.5k,deduce house loan,car loan, u only left 2-3k,have to live a month..in kl...rich?

some /k expert said malaysian already earning 10 - 20k in their early 30s..

Most ktards here are oldies, hence earning more than 20k.

last time 8k feels rich in KL
but nowadays 20k will also feel poor in KL

working as employee will forever cannot escape middle income trap

myself
monthly gross 15 to 20k

if annual gross including bonus / annual vested stock etc .. about 330k


but deduct all can eat shit d

RM2.3k take home
No cars, loans, kids or whatever. Wouldn't be able to afford that kind of stuff if I do.

1.5k, baru naik to 1.8k ... I cukur.

B40 after deduction become C40

More than 20k. Freelancing for US company after I came back to Malaysia from studying in the US.

I used to work for them in the US and after I came back we continued the working relationship, but on paper I'm a contractor (freelancer) by registering as sole proprietor with SSM, and invoicing my company every month. I pay Malaysian taxes. Already kena audited by LHDN once for YA 2020 and no issues.

prolly thinking about jumping ship and want to do market research see what people are making to see if he is in the median or not
its a nice statistic to look at but its vastly bias if he ask on lowyat even in serious k due to the kind of people that browse here

not a bad thing, sometimes people dont realize that the 3k they make is like dog shit low end but they still live happily in their early 20s but then when late 20s then they want to pak tor and marry then they start to realize, how to survive ah, 3k macam not enough, then go search search see see what other people are making
some people also think the 12k they made is not enough and want to ask around to see what is 'normal'

i like to see these kind of market research but feel like most of the answers are fake tho

Focus on yourself instead of worrying about what others are making.

There's always going to be ppl making more than you, much much more than you... so? What are you going to do about it?

It makes more sense associates with age.

There is more 20k arseholes.

Can always look up job portal sites. More data points

This is active income only or include passive income?
just want to know before I vote properly.

I go below 3k coz just resigned
