PCB CALCULATOR / 2026

Estimate your monthly PCB.

Enter salary and employee details to review your monthly tax and statutory deductions.

Official check: LHDN's PCB calculator for the final figure.

Supported case: Resident Malaysian private-sector employee, standard case, ages 18–54; some fields are estimates; non-resident and complex remuneration are not supported.

Monthly salary (RM)

Calculation month

Employment category

Age

Tax category

Tax residency

LINDUNG 24 JAM / SKBKK (June–December 2026)

Choose the actual participation status. Before June 2026 the option is not applicable. For February–December PCB, use the Detailed Calculator and enter actual previous payroll totals. The limited statutory scope remains unchanged.

Payroll contribution settings — 2026

Official wage-band schedules apply; a percentage alone does not determine statutory EPF below RM20,000. Non-standard employment or contribution categories are shown transparently but not estimated until validated.

Calculation type

Employee EPF contribution scheme

Employer EPF contribution scheme

SOCSO coverage

EIS / SIP participation

These selections prevent incorrect payroll figures: this independently tested calculation path covers standard Malaysian private-sector employees aged 18–54, First Category SOCSO and eligible EIS. Employer-cost values are shown only for verified wage bands. Alternate categories are not silently treated as standard.

Family tax relief (basic eligible children)

For resident categories 2 and 3 only. Count children under 18 for whom you claim the FULL RM2,000 basic child relief. Adult students, disabled children and shared or partial claims are not supported in this stage. Single employees must enter 0.

Qualifying children under 18 (full relief claimed)

I confirm the selected family category and full basic child relief eligibility. For category 2, my spouse has no qualifying income. No joint assessment, split child claims or special family relief applies.

For married, divorced or widowed categories, PCB requires Detailed Calculator and this eligibility confirmation. A zero child count is allowed. This is a limited independent estimate, not LHDN approval.

Annual bonus (optional) — Stage 21D

For one annual bonus paid this month only. Enter the gross annual bonus and its actual employee KWSP contribution separately. Previous months must contain normal salary only, with no prior bonuses or additional remuneration. No commissions, arrears, allowances or gratuities are supported.

Annual bonus this month (RM)

Employee EPF on annual bonus (RM)

I confirm this scenario concerns one annual bonus subject to EPF. The entered bonus EPF is correct, with no previous bonuses, other irregular pay or special tax scheme; documented TP1/TP3/zakat is entered separately if applicable.

Leave both bonus fields blank for the existing normal-salary calculator. Annual bonuses are outside PERKESO/EIS wages; their employee EPF is entered separately. This is a limited estimate, not LHDN-approved.

Zakat, employer-approved TP1 reliefs & TP3 prior employment (optional)

Only approved eligible claims and verified payroll records. Zakat is a TAX REBATE, not a tax deduction. Paid-via-payroll zakat reduces net pay separately; direct TP1 zakat paid outside payroll does not. Official LHDN acceptance is not implied.

Current month zakat from salary / payslip (RM)

Current month zakat paid directly (TP1) (RM)

Zakat already paid earlier in 2026 (RM)

TP1 approved eligible relief claims — current month (RM)

Enter only claims approved by the employer and supported by receipts; enter 0 for non-applicable categories. Each category has its own annual cap. All previous approved TP1 reliefs are entered separately below.

Parents / grandparents qualifying medical care (max RM8,000)

Eligible own higher education fees (max RM7,000)

Eligible SSPN net deposits (max RM8,000)

Lifestyle (books / devices / internet) (max RM2,500)

Eligible registered childcare fees (max RM3,000)

Additional sports / fitness lifestyle (max RM1,000)

Private retirement scheme / annuity (max RM3,000)

Eligible education / medical insurance (max RM4,000)

Eligible life insurance / takaful (max RM3,000)

SOCSO relief / approved claim (max RM350)

TP1 approved relief total from earlier 2026 months (RM)

I confirm these are actual eligible zakat payments and employer-approved TP1 deductions, not duplicates, and I have verified eligibility, annual caps and documentation. This is a calculation estimate, not an electronic TP1 submission.

TP3 — previous employer, normal salary only

Fill only when you changed employers in 2026. The main prior payroll totals below must then include ONLY your current employer's earlier months. Previous employer totals must NOT contain bonuses, TP1 claims or other additional remuneration in this pilot.

Previous employer gross normal salary (RM)

Previous employer employee EPF (RM)

Previous employer PCB actually deducted (RM)

I confirm these figures are from actual TP3 / previous employer records, exclude additional remuneration and are not duplicated in current employer totals. No special pay, prior zakat or special relief without separate disclosure.

Not supported yet: disabled/adult child reliefs, TP1 sub-limit combinations, special tax schemes, prior additional remuneration, employer payroll filing, account login or real AI chat. Do not use estimates for payroll submission until independently verified.

Prior 2026 payroll totals (February–December)

Enter totals from January through the month BEFORE your selected month. Use 0 if no earlier 2026 pay. Do not include current-month salary. Enter current-employer ordinary salary history here; use the optional section above for verified TP3 / TP1 / zakat. Prior bonuses or irregular pay remain unsupported.

Previous 2026 gross salary total (RM)

Previous 2026 employee EPF total (RM)

Previous 2026 PCB actually deducted (RM)

I confirm these are actual earlier 2026 ordinary-pay totals for the current employer, excluding TP3 amounts entered separately and any earlier bonuses or irregular pay.

Resident normal-salary categories 1–3 are supported within the stated family and payroll-history limits. Otherwise, PCB and net pay remain unavailable.

Additional payroll information is requested only when applicable. Open optional claims above only when you have verified TP1, TP3 or zakat records.

2026 limited pilot: basic family cases, annual bonus, selected verified TP1 deductions, zakat and ordinary-income TP3. Additional remuneration and special schemes remain unsupported.
