How this calculation works

Gross RM5,500 is reduced by employee EPF (typically 11%), SOCSO and EIS from the official wage schedules, and estimated PCB for a tax resident. Employer cost adds employer EPF (12% or 13% by wage band), SOCSO and EIS on top of gross. SKBBK is voluntary from 8 July 2026 and omitted unless you opt in on the main calculator.

Profile used: Single / spouse working, Under 60, Malaysian citizen, 182+ days in Malaysia, no children relief beyond category defaults. Payslips and LHDN remain authoritative.
