How Malaysian Salary Deductions Work
Every Malaysian employee's monthly pay packet is subject to three mandatory statutory deductions before you receive your take-home pay: EPF, SOCSO, and EIS. A fourth deduction — PCB (monthly income tax) — applies once your annual income exceeds the personal relief threshold.
EPF — Employees Provident Fund
The largest deduction. Employees contribute 11% and employers contribute 12–13%. These savings accumulate in your EPF account for retirement withdrawal at age 55 or 60.
SOCSO — Social Security
Provides coverage for work accidents and permanent disability. Employee rate is 0.5% of insured wages, capped at a monthly wage ceiling of RM5,000.
EIS — Employment Insurance
Provides job-loss benefits and reskilling support. Both employee and employer each pay 0.2%, capped at RM4,000 monthly wages.
PCB — Monthly Tax Deduction
Potongan Cukai Berjadual is the monthly instalment of your annual income tax, deducted at source by your employer and remitted to LHDN.
