Salary Slip Generator for
Malaysia

Generate professional payslips for Malaysia. Country-specific templates with local deductions and formatting.

Prepare a Malaysia payslip: salary, deductions and records

Use the actual salary period and payment date from your payroll records. A monthly payslip records that payment; it is not the annual EA/EC remuneration statement or a tax submission.

Identify the pay period
Check employer and employee details, the salary period and payment date. Use MYR consistently and distinguish basic salary from allowances, overtime and bonuses.
Review employee deductions
Use the applicable EPF (KWSP), SOCSO (PERKESO), EIS and PCB amounts from your approved payroll records. Eligibility, contribution schedules and employee circumstances matter; do not apply one flat percentage to everyone.
Keep employer contributions separate
Distinguish employer contributions from amounts deducted from the employee. Reconcile gross earnings, employee deductions and net salary with the actual salary payment.
Verify PCB through the appropriate process
HASiL instructs employers to calculate monthly tax deduction (MTD/PCB) using the prescribed schedule or computerised calculation method. Entering a PCB line on a PDF does not remit the tax or submit employee data.
Keep annual records distinct
HASiL separately requires the employee remuneration statement (EA/EC) by the last day of February of the following year. Keep underlying payroll records; do not replace an annual statement with a renamed monthly payslip.

Check current contribution schedules and employment requirements for your situation, including the relevant jurisdiction within Malaysia. The HASiL reference below covers employer tax responsibilities, not every payslip or contribution rule. Verify amounts before issuing; CleverSlip does not file or remit contributions for you.

Payroll Regulations in Malaysia

Malaysian employers must provide itemised pay slips under the Employment Act 1955 (as amended in 2022). Pay slips must detail wages, allowances, deductions, and other payments. Employers are required to make statutory contributions to EPF (Employees Provident Fund) and SOCSO (Social Security Organisation), deduct Monthly Tax Deductions (PCB/MTD), and contribute to the Employment Insurance System (EIS).

Frequently Asked Questions

How does EPF (KWSP) work on a Malaysian payslip?

EPF (KWSP) contributions depend on the employee’s circumstances and the applicable contribution schedule. Check the current KWSP guidance and approved payroll figures rather than applying one flat percentage or an old account-allocation rule. Show employee deductions separately from employer contributions.

What is PCB (Monthly Tax Deduction) in Malaysia?

PCB, also called Monthly Tax Deduction (MTD), is income tax withheld through payroll when applicable. HASiL directs employers to use the prescribed schedule or computerised calculation method. Use the current method and employee information; a historical annual-income threshold is not a substitute for calculating the actual deduction.

What are SOCSO and EIS contributions in Malaysia?

SOCSO (PERKESO) and EIS contributions depend on eligibility and the applicable contribution schedule. Check current PERKESO guidance and approved payroll records rather than using an old wage ceiling or a single percentage for every employee. Keep employee deductions separate from employer contributions.

How do I create salary slips for Malaysia employees?

Start with verified employer, employee, salary-period and payment details. Itemise earnings and applicable employee deductions, distinguish employer contributions, and reconcile net salary with the actual payment. Check the requirements that apply to the employment relationship before issuing the salary slip; creating a PDF does not file or remit contributions.

Are salary slips a legal requirement in Malaysia?

Check the employment law and record requirements for the relevant jurisdiction within Malaysia and the employee’s circumstances. Do not assume that one generic template or a summary of the Employment Act covers every situation. Consult the relevant labour authority or a payroll adviser where applicability is unclear.

What deductions must appear on a Malaysia salary slip?

Itemise the employee deductions that actually apply, such as verified EPF, SOCSO, EIS and PCB amounts and other authorised deductions. Show gross earnings and net salary clearly. Employer contributions should be distinguished from amounts deducted from the employee; use current schedules rather than assumed rates.

Can I generate salary slips for part-time or contract workers in Malaysia?

Use the correct employment classification and verify the rules that apply to part-time or fixed-term employees. Do not treat a genuine independent contractor’s invoice as an employee payslip. If classification or contribution eligibility is unclear, check with the relevant authority or a qualified adviser before generating payroll documents.

How often should salary slips be issued in Malaysia?

Prepare salary slips for the actual payroll period and follow the payment and delivery deadlines applicable to the employment relationship. Keep the underlying payroll records for the periods required by the relevant employment, tax and contribution rules. A monthly payslip is distinct from the annual EA/EC remuneration statement.
