How KiraBoss calculates Malaysian salary
KiraBoss calculates take-home salary by subtracting employee statutory deductions and tax from gross income. It separately shows employer contributions and total employer cost.
EPF, SOCSO, EIS and SKBBK follow the published KWSP and PERKESO schedules, and PCB follows LHDN/HASiL's monthly deduction principles. Every figure on this page is an estimate — your employer's payroll setup decides the final amount.

Formula used
- Cash paid this month = Basic + Monthly allowance + Bonus + Commission + Overtime + Taxable claim + Non-taxable reimbursement
- EPF basis = sum of pay items with EPF enabled
- PERKESO basis = sum of pay items with SOCSO/EIS/SKBBK enabled (RM6,000 wage ceiling applied inside engines)
- PCB taxable income = sum of pay items with PCB enabled
- Normal monthly income = Basic + Monthly allowance (recurring items only)
- Estimated annual gross = Normal monthly income × 12 + one-time income (counted once)
- Future projection gross = Normal monthly income only
- Take-home this month = Cash paid this month − Employee EPF − Employee SOCSO − Employee EIS − Employee SKBBK − PCB − Zakat − Other deductions
- Employer cost = Cash paid + Employer EPF + Employer SOCSO + Employer EIS + Employer SKBBK + HRD Corp levy + Other employer cost
Assumptions
- EPF: estimated from KWSP published contribution references and selected employee/employer rates, with KWSP rounding.
- SOCSO: estimated using PERKESO Act 4 published contribution schedule, subject to the applicable wage ceiling (RM6,000).
- EIS: estimated using PERKESO Act 800 published contribution schedule, subject to the applicable wage ceiling (RM6,000).
- SKBBK / Lindung 24 Jam: included where applicable based on PERKESO published contribution schedule. Treatment may differ depending on employer setup.
- PCB / MTD: estimated using LHDN/HASiL published computerised calculation principles. Normal remuneration is annualised; bonus, commission and other one-time income are treated as additional remuneration.
- Claims marked as genuine company expense reimbursement default to no EPF / SOCSO / EIS / SKBBK / PCB. Personal allowances or recurring claims default to all statutory contributions on.
- Bonus, commission and overtime default to one-time. Overtime is excluded from EPF by default; PERKESO contributions on bonus may not increase if the wage ceiling has already been reached.
- PCB estimate rounded to 2 decimals. LHDN PCB calculator rounds to the nearest sen.
