About the Malaysia Bonus Tax Calculator

Every bonus season the same question: bonus RM5,000, berapa masuk pocket? This calculator answers it exactly. The extra PCB is computed with LHDN's additional remuneration formula - your projected yearly tax with the bonus minus the yearly tax without it - and the EPF share on the bonus follows the KWSP Third Schedule. SOCSO and EIS are not deducted on an annual bonus.

The engine is the same one that powers HRWork payroll, so the figure matches what a compliant payroll system would withhold in your bonus month.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is tax on a bonus calculated in Malaysia?
A bonus is additional remuneration under LHDN's MTD formula: the extra PCB equals your projected yearly tax with the bonus included minus the yearly tax without it. So the bonus is effectively taxed at your marginal bracket, not a flat rate.
Is EPF deducted from a bonus?
Yes. A bonus is EPF-liable, so the employee share (11% standard) is deducted on the combined wage per the KWSP Third Schedule. SOCSO and EIS are not deducted on an annual bonus.
Why does a bigger bonus feel taxed more heavily?
Because the bonus stacks on top of your yearly income, it can push part of your income into a higher bracket - the extra PCB is charged at your highest marginal rate. The calculator shows the exact percentage kept.
Is bonus PCB a separate final tax?
No. It is a withholding under the normal MTD system. Your final position is settled when you file your annual return - if too much was withheld you get a refund.

Bonus PCB follows the LHDN Specification for MTD Computerized Calculation (additional remuneration), and EPF follows the official KWSP Third Schedule - the same statutory engine that powers HRWork payroll. Steady-state estimate (month 1, no prior accumulation), excluding TP1 reliefs and zakat. Always refer to LHDN and KWSP for official figures.
