About the Malaysia Income Tax Calculator
Calculate Malaysian personal income tax for resident individuals for year of assessment 2026. Enter your chargeable income in ringgit – your income after personal reliefs such as the RM9,000 individual relief, EPF and insurance.
How it is calculated
Resident individuals are taxed on a progressive scale from 0% to 30%: the first RM5,000 is tax-free, followed by rates of 1%, 3%, 6%, 11%, 19%, 25%, 26% and 28%, and 30% on chargeable income above RM2 million.
If chargeable income is RM35,000 or less, a rebate of RM400 is deducted from the tax. Non-residents pay a flat 30% and are not covered.
