Source and methodology
For salaries at or below RM20,000, employers should refer to the current KWSP Third Schedule rather than simply multiplying a percentage. The rounded salary examples below match the applicable standard contribution bands for a Malaysian/PR employee below age 60. For wages above RM20,000, KWSP allows exact-percentage calculation.
PERKESO's contribution wage ceiling is RM6,000 from 1 October 2024. SOCSO/EIS amounts should be calculated using the current official schedule for the employee's category, not guessed from a flat universal rate.
PCB/MTD is not hard-coded here because the 2026 HASiL computerized calculation depends on personal variables such as tax residency, relief inputs and remuneration type. The table therefore does not fabricate a single 'tax' figure for every person on the same salary.

- KWSP Mandatory Contribution

Why we consolidated the old salary pages
The previous build had separate pages for every salary amount. They were too similar and created little information gain. This master table keeps every salary example in one useful resource instead of manufacturing dozens of near-duplicate URLs.
FAQ
Is EPF always exactly 11% from my salary?
The standard employee rate is 11% for the common below-60 Malaysian/PR category, but for wages up to RM20,000 employers are instructed to use the official Third Schedule contribution bands.
Why is PCB not shown as one fixed amount?
Because 2026 monthly tax deduction depends on the employee's tax profile and payroll inputs. A universal number would be misleading.
Does SOCSO stop increasing above RM6,000 salary?
PERKESO applies a RM6,000 contribution wage ceiling from October 2024, subject to the applicable contribution schedule.
Can I use the home-loan figure as my bank eligibility?
No. It is a transparent illustration only. Banks use their own DSR, income, credit and product rules.
Why redirect the old RM-specific pages?
Because a consolidated page with all salary examples is more useful and avoids near-duplicate doorway-style pages.
