    LHDN’s formula projects your chargeable income for 2026: RM5,100.00 × 12, less EPF (relief capped at RM4,000 a year) and reliefs of RM9,000, gives P = RM48,200.07.

    Tax on that from LHDN’s table: (RM48,200.07 − RM35,000) × 6% + RM600 = RM1,392.00 for the year.

    January’s share: RM1,392.00 ÷ 12 = RM116.00, rounded up to the next 5 sen: RM116.00.
