Employer cost calculator Malaysia
Enter the wages and the employer EPF share to see the full monthly and yearly cost of a hire.
SOCSO and EIS come from the PERKESO tables. Add other regular costs, such as allowances or insurance, in their own field.
How it's calculated
- Employer EPF is the amount you enter from your contribution schedule.
- Employer SOCSO is read from the PERKESO table for the wage band: Employment Injury and Invalidity in the first category, Employment Injury only in the second.
- Employer EIS matches the employee's EIS for the same band.
- PERKESO contributions stop growing above RM 6,000 a month.
- Everything is added to the wages to give the monthly cost.
An example
For RM4,000 of wages and RM520 of employer EPF, SOCSO is RM69.15 and EIS RM7.90. The employer pays RM4,597.05 a month, about 14.9% on top of the wages.
Frequently asked questions
Does the employer pay LINDUNG 24 Jam?
No. In the PERKESO table the Non-Employment Injury Scheme is an employee share only, so it does not add to the employer's cost.
Is the HRD Corp levy included?
Not automatically. If your company pays the levy, add your monthly amount under other costs.
Why do I enter employer EPF myself?
Your EPF contribution schedule shows the exact employer share for each employee. Entering it keeps the result tied to what you actually pay.
