How To Calculate PCB or Scheduled Tax Deduction (STD) for Salary and Bonus

While watching World Cup and with the pay day coming in within a week, I'm thinking maybe I should do some write up on how the PCB or STD (Scheduled Tax Deduction) is calculated monthly as this has been a question mark for me whenever I am planning the budget for the subsequent month.

Most people will have doubt on how the PCB or STD is calculated especially during the bonus month. In fact, most of us will be anxiously to know the tax deduction to have proper view how much we can spend during that month. So, it is always best for us to know how the PCB are calculated so that we can plan ahead.



Here is how our STD or PCB are calculated.


Assuming person E is single and is drawing monthly salary of RM3,000 and contributing 11% from his monthly salary to EPF.

Salary = RM3,000
EPF deduction = RM330
(Note: The maximum total EPF deduction allowed for PCB or STD calculation is RM500 (RM6,000 / 12 = RM500))

Salary for PCB calculation
= Gross salary - EPF deduction
= RM3,000 - RM330
= RM2,670


According to PCB 2010 rate, the PCB for RM2,670 is RM24

So, every month E will be getting
= Gross salary - EPF deduction - PCB (or STD)
= RM3,000 - RM300 - RM24
= RM2,676

Now, assume that E is getting RM3,000 in bonus, how much would his PCB on that month?
Bonus = RM3,000
EPF deduction = RM330
Maximum available EPF deduction for PCB calculation = RM500, so the EPF deduction for bonus PCB calculation = RM500 - RM330 = RM170, instead of RM330

Bonus for PCB calculation
= Gross Bonus - EPF deduction
= RM3,000 - RM170
= RM2,830

The amount for bonus PCB calculation has a formula like the following:-
= (1/12 x net_bonus) + net_salary
= (1/12 x RM2,830) + RM2,670
= RM235.83 + RM2,670
= RM2,905.83


According to PCB 2010 rate, the PCB for RM2,905.83 is RM42

PCB for bonus = (RM42 - RM24) x 12 = RM216

Total PCB for the month with bonus
= PCB for salary + PCB for bonus
= RM24 + RM216
= RM240


So, during the bonus month,
Gross salary + bonus = RM3,000 + RM3,000 = RM6,000
EPF deduction = RM660
PCB (or STD) = RM24 + RM240 = RM264

E will be getting
= Gross salary + bonus - EPF deduction - PCB (or STD)
= RM6,000 - RM660 - RM264
= RM5,076

Why not try out the calculation with your salary and let me know whether the calculation and formula is accurate by checking your payslip. I am sure I will check it this month :D

Scheduled Tax Deduction (STD) or PCB for the Year 2010

When you look at your payslip every month since the second half last year, do you realized that the Scheduled Tax Deduction, STD (or Potongan Cukai Bulanan, PCB) is higher compare to previously? I, myself realized that and after doing some research I realized that the Inland Revenue Board (IRB) of Malaysia (or Lembaga Hasil Dalam Negeri, LHDN) has come out with higher rate back then.


This year again, we will have new PCB rate and the rate is lower compares to the 2009 PCB rate. Click the links below to get the rate for both PCB 2009 and PCB 2010 and do some comparison.

I might be posting on how to calculate the PCB or STD in the future.
