Who we are
About iCalculator
iCalculator Malaysia is a free set of calculators built for everyday life in Malaysia. Most are money tools — car loans, home loans, personal income tax, salary take-home pay, EPF retirement projection, credit-card interest, PTPTN repayment, property stamp duty, Real Property Gains Tax (RPGT), EV road tax, the BUDI95 petrol subsidy, B40/M40/T20 income classification, and zakat (income, savings, gold and business) — and they help you understand the real cost of borrowing, the real take-home from your salary, and the long-term shape of your savings before you sign anything or commit to a decision. Beyond money, we also offer a BMI health calculator (using Malaysia's Asian BMI cutoffs), a Calorie calculator (TDEE) (daily calorie needs, macro targets, and weight goals), and a World Cup knowledge base — the 2026 and 2022 editions, with squads, group standings, knockout brackets, results and stats.
Every calculator runs entirely in your browser. There are no accounts, no sign-ups, and the numbers you enter never leave your device. The site is available in English, Bahasa Melayu, and Chinese.
Why we built this
Most Malaysian borrowers have never seen the difference between an advertised flat rate and the actual effective interest rate (EIR) they pay. Bank brochures quote one number, but the schedule you sign — and what you owe if you settle early — depends on which calculation method the loan is governed by.
Malaysia's Hire Purchase Amendment Act 2026 (effective 1 June 2026) changes this for new car loans: the industry moves from the Rule of 78 to Reducing Balance, and banks must now disclose the EIR alongside the advertised flat rate. Pre-2026 loans remain under the Rule of 78 until banks complete migration by 31 March 2027. Our car loan calculator compares both methods side by side — including what an early settlement actually saves you under each.
The same transparency problem exists for personal income tax (which reliefs am I missing?), EPF (will I have enough to retire?), and credit-card interest (how much does a single missed minimum payment really cost?). Each calculator on this site is built to answer one of those questions with a clear, fully-broken-down number — not a marketing summary.

Methodology and sources
Each calculator implements published Malaysian methodology directly — not a generic offshore formula adapted to look local. The primary references we follow:
- Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) — hire purchase policy, EIR disclosure guidelines, and the Hire Purchase Amendment Act 2026 (bnm.gov.my).
- Lembaga Hasil Dalam Negeri (LHDN / IRBM) — progressive tax brackets, reliefs, rebates, and monthly PCB schedules for the relevant assessment years (hasil.gov.my).
- Kumpulan Wang Simpanan Pekerja (KWSP / EPF) — statutory employee and employer contribution rates and historical dividend declarations (kwsp.gov.my).
- PERKESO / SOCSO and EIS — statutory deduction tables used in the income-tax take-home calculation (perkeso.gov.my).
The underlying math is implemented as plain, framework-free TypeScript functions and is covered by an automated test suite that locks in known worked examples — for instance, a RM100,000 / 3% flat / 9-year car loan must produce ~RM1,176 monthly with a ~5.5% EIR. If a government rate or bracket changes, we update the corresponding rate table and re-run the suite before publishing.
Editorial standards
