Monthly tax deduction explained simply
A tax refund happens when the total tax already paid is more than the actual income tax payable.
In Malaysia, many employees pay tax through monthly PCB deductions. When annual tax filing is completed, the final tax payable may be lower or higher than the total PCB already deducted.
This calculator compares total PCB paid with actual income tax payable.
Formula:
Tax Refund = Total PCB Paid - Actual Income Tax Payable
If your total PCB paid is higher than your actual tax payable, you may receive a refund.
If your actual tax payable is higher than PCB paid, you may need to pay additional tax.
If your total PCB paid is RM5,000 and your actual income tax payable is RM4,200, your estimated tax refund is RM800.
No. This calculator provides an estimate only. Actual refund depends on LHDN assessment, tax reliefs, rebates and filing details.
PCB is Malaysia's monthly tax deduction system where employers deduct tax from salary every month.
A refund may arise when total tax already paid is higher than final tax payable.
A negative result means your actual tax payable is higher than PCB paid, so you may need to pay additional tax.
