How Malaysia Income Tax Works

Malaysia uses a progressive tax rate system for resident individuals, ranging from 0% to 30%. Your taxable income is divided into brackets, and each bracket is taxed at its respective rate. Non-residents are generally taxed at a flat rate of 30% on their chargeable income.

Taxable income is your gross income minus allowable deductions and reliefs, such as lifestyle relief, medical expenses, and insurance premiums. This calculator assumes your input is your taxable income after deductions.
