About

Go Home Early Malaysia is a small set of free calculators for employees: monthly pay after EPF, SOCSO, EIS and PCB, and the income tax for the year, for citizens and foreign workers. It is an independent project. It is not run by, endorsed by or connected with the Inland Revenue Board of Malaysia (LHDN), the Employees Provident Fund (KWSP), the Social Security Organisation (PERKESO) or any other government body.

Why this exists

The operator has handled pay, tax and payroll calculations for a small team firsthand. The calculators available gave different numbers for the same inputs and did not say where the numbers came from, so the figures had to be worked out again from the official pages. This site publishes that working, with the source and the check date next to each number.

Rates come from the source

EPF rates and wage bands come from KWSP. SOCSO and EIS tables and the wage ceiling come from PERKESO. Tax rates, reliefs, rebates and the monthly tax deduction (PCB) rules come from LHDN. The Sources and rates page lists each value, where it came from and the date it was last checked, and what could not be confirmed.

Checked against official figures

The calculations are tested against the printed KWSP wage-band table, the values in the LHDN specification for PCB, hand calculations from the published tables, and an independent second implementation that agrees to the sen on every test case. The site is not released with a failing test.

Updates

Contribution rates, reliefs and tax bands can change with the Budget and with agency notices. When they do, the values and the checked dates are updated together. If you find an error, tell us.
