What each deduction means
EPF is retirement savings contribution. SOCSO supports social security protection. EIS supports employment insurance. The employee portions reduce take-home pay.
Why estimates can differ from payroll
This calculator uses percentage-based EPF and simplified SOCSO/EIS estimates. Actual payroll may use official wage bands, contribution schedules and employer payroll settings. Always verify final payslip-sensitive amounts with payroll or official sources.
| Deduction | How it affects take-home pay |
|---|---|
| EPF employee | Usually the largest monthly deduction |
| SOCSO employee | Smaller amount, subject to wage ceiling in this estimate |
| EIS employee | Small percentage, subject to wage ceiling in this estimate |
| Income tax estimate | Rises with chargeable income under progressive rates |
When to check this carefully
Check deductions carefully when you change jobs, receive a bonus, become a tax resident or non-resident, turn 60, or have special EPF contribution rules.
