PCB Calculator FAQs
What's a Monthly PCB Calculator in Malaysia?
A Monthly PCB calculator in Malaysia figures out the Potongan Cukai Bulanan (PCB) that employers need to take out of an employees’ pay each month. It runs on LHDN-approved calculation taking into account monthly pay, EPF payments, tax breaks, marital status, and how many kids they have. This makes sure the payroll follows the current Income Tax Act rules.
How does a PCB Calculator Malaysia work in 2026?
A PCB calculator in Malaysia for 2026 uses the latest LHDN tax tables, relief thresholds, and EPF rates to figure out correct monthly tax deductions. Employers enter gross salary, benefits, bonuses, and employee info, and the calculator tweaks PCB amounts to match the newest tax rules and compliance standards for the 2026 assessment year.
How does an E-PCB Calculator differ from a Simple PCB Calculator?
An E-PCB calculator sticks to LHDN's official electronic PCB calculation method giving more precise results for tricky payroll setups. A simple PCB calculator gives a quick estimate based on base pay. While helpful for planning simple calculators might miss things like bonuses, benefits-in-kind, or detailed tax breaks.
Which PCB Calculator Table do companies use for monthly tax deductions?
Monthly PCB math relies on LHDN-issued PCB tables, which show tax cut amounts based on pay ranges and worker profiles. These tables get updates now and then to match changes in tax rates, breaks, and EPF payments, so it's key to use the newest PCB calculator table to avoid under- or over-deduction.
How does a PCB Calculator for Bonus work in Malaysia?
A PCB calculator for bonus calculates extra tax deductions when companies pay bonuses, commissions, or incentives. It turns the bonus into a yearly amount and adds it to the regular salary to find the right PCB. This helps spread employees' total tax bill throughout the year, so they don't face big tax changes later on.
