PCB (income tax)RM904.209%
LHDN’s formula projects your chargeable income for 2026: RM9,900.00 × 12, less EPF (relief capped at RM4,000 a year) and reliefs of RM9,000, gives P = RM105,800.07.
Tax on that from LHDN’s table: (RM105,800.07 − RM100,000) × 25% + RM9,400 = RM10,850.01 for the year.
January’s share: RM10,850.01 ÷ 12 = RM904.16, rounded up to the next 5 sen: RM904.20.
