Understanding salary deductions in Malaysia
Understanding how each statutory deduction works helps you see why your take-home changes every month.
EPF contributions: employee, employer, and age-based rates
EPF is a mandatory retirement fund paid by both you and your employer. Rates vary by age and status, so pick the correct band to get accurate contribution rates.
SOCSO coverage and contribution categories
SOCSO gives social security for work injuries, illness, and disability. The system uses category bands; your payslip will show employee and employer shares separately.
EIS contributions and when they apply
EIS, Malaysia’s employment insurance, provides short-term income support and training after job loss. Small monthly contributions come from both you and your employer when you are eligible.
Income tax (PCB) and factors like brackets and status
Your income tax (PCB) withholding depends on brackets, marital status, and allowances. Entering correct personal details ensures the tax line estimates match your real withholdings.
From gross salary to net pay: what affects your take-home
Deductions like EPF, SOCSO, EIS, and PCB move your gross salary to a practical take-home figure. Employers and employees both contribute, so the breakdown shows the full cost of employment.
“Results are estimates for reference only and do not replace official figures from authorities.”
| Deduction | Who pays | What it covers |
|---|---|---|
| EPF | Employee & Employer | Retirement savings; rates change by age |
| SOCSO | Employee & Employer | Work-related injury, illness, disability protection |
| EIS | Employee & Employer | Job loss support and training |
| PCB (Income Tax) | Employee | Monthly tax withheld based on brackets and status |

Example breakdown: from gross salary to net pay
This sample calculation breaks down how statutory contributions and tax reduce a RM 70,000 annual package.
Illustration: RM 70,000 yearly salary and its impact
Using common assumptions, with RM 70,000 per year the totals look like this: Tax RM 2,710, EIS RM 95, EPF RM 7,747, and SOCSO RM 237.
The combined deductions equal RM 10,789. That leads to a take-home of RM 59,211 per year, or about RM 4,934 per month.
| Item | Amount (RM) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Income tax (PCB) | 2,710 | Withholding based on common assumptions |
| EPF | 7,747 | Employee portion shown |
| SOCSO | 237 | Standard contribution band |
| EIS | 95 | Employment insurance contribution |
| Total deductions | 10,789 | Reduces gross to final take-home |
The marginal rate is about 23.7% while the average tax rate is 15.4%. For planning, a RM 1,000 bonus yields ~RM 763 net and RM 5,000 yields ~RM 3,815 net under the same assumptions.
