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.

Distinguishing Gross Salary & Net Salary

In Malaysia, your Gross Salary represents the raw, unadjusted sum agreed upon in your employment offer letter. It encompasses your base pay, overtime credits, and any cash-based taxable travel, lifestyle or child allowances.

Conversely, your Net Salary or take-home pay is the exact liquid capital that is bank-wired to you on pay day. It represents your gross wages minus all employee statutory shares: KWSP, PERKESO, SIP, and IRB taxes.

Employer Statutory Responsibilities

Hiring talent in Malaysia triggers financial liabilities beyond base wages. Under federal rules, employers cannot simply deduct workers' statutory shares; they are legally obligated to make separate additional employer contributions.

Employers contribute 12% or 13% for EPF (KWSP), approximately 1.75% for SOCSO (PERKESO), and 0.2% for EIS (SIP). These additional outlays ensure social security reserves remain robust and employees are covered under pension and medical injury benefits.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Net take-home salary is computed by taking your gross monthly contract wage and subtracting statutory employee payroll deductions: Employee EPF (11%), Employee SOCSO (approx 0.5%), Employee EIS (0.2%), and Monthly Tax Withholding (PCB).
