What are the Malaysia income tax rates for YA 2025?

This calculator uses the latest published Malaysia tax brackets and personal allowance for the YA 2025 tax year, sourced from LHDN — YA 2025; EPF employee 11% + SOCSO + EIS.. Enter any gross salary above to see the bracket-by-bracket breakdown, your effective rate, and your marginal rate.

How is take-home pay calculated in Malaysia?

We start with your gross salary, apply the Malaysia personal allowance and any standard deductions, run the result through the YA 2025 progressive income tax brackets, then subtract mandatory employee social-security and equivalent contributions. The number left is your annual and monthly net pay.

Does this include social security and other payroll deductions in Malaysia?

Yes. The Malaysia calculator models employee-side social security, pension, health, and any solidarity or surcharge components that apply to wages. Employer-side contributions are excluded because they don't reduce your take-home pay.

Is the Malaysia calculator accurate for my situation?

It's a single-filer wage estimate that uses official YA 2025 rates. Your actual tax can differ based on filing status, dependants, regional or municipal taxes, salary-sacrifice arrangements, capital gains, and other personal credits. Treat the result as a strong first estimate, not tax advice.

What's the effective tax rate on a RM100,000 salary in Malaysia?

At RM100,000 gross per year, the model returns an effective tax-and-social-security rate of about 5.6% and a marginal rate of about 19.0% — leaving roughly RM82,900 as annual take-home. Enter your own salary above for a tailored breakdown.
