Please Note: This calculator provides an estimate only and is not an official LHDN ( Hasil ), KWSP or PERKESO statutory submission tool. Actual PCB, EPF, SOCSO and EIS amounts may vary depending on employee status, residency, tax relief eligibility, rebates (e.g. spouse/children declarations), TP1/TP3 information, prior employment records within the year, and official updates. Please verify calculation figures against official LHDN portal, KWSP booklets, PERKESO schedules, or consult with a certified payroll/tax compliance specialist.

How Progressive Tax Brackets Work

Personal income tax in Malaysia follows a progressive tax rate schedule for residents, ranging from 0% (for incomes RM5,000 or below) up to 30% (for high earners exceeding RM2 million).

By taxing separate income bands under progressively higher rates, the tax system ensures equity across different income levels. Non-residents, however, are subject to flat rates (typically 30%) with no access to tax deductions.

The Purpose of Tax Relief Declarations

Malaysian tax rules offer numerous avenues to offset your annual chargeable income base. Popular LHDN tax deductions include education fees, health checkups, life insurance premiums, parental medical bills, and lifestyle purchases.

Maximizing these deductions during e-Filing directly lowers your final tax liability, increasing your chances of getting a nice tax refund from LHDN.
