What Is Income Tax In Malaysia?

Income tax is tax charged on taxable income. For resident individuals in Malaysia, income tax is generally calculated using progressive tax rates.

This means higher chargeable income may be taxed at higher tax brackets.

How Is Income Tax Calculated?

A simple way to estimate income tax is to subtract tax relief from annual income to get chargeable income.

Then, progressive tax rates are applied to the chargeable income.

Formula Used

Chargeable Income = Annual Income - Tax Relief

Estimated Tax = Tax calculated based on progressive tax brackets

Example Income Tax Calculation

If your annual income is RM60,000 and your tax relief is RM9,000, your estimated chargeable income is RM51,000.

The calculator then estimates tax based on progressive resident individual tax brackets.
