Worked example
A Malaysian employee below 60 earning RM3,000 a month falls under SOCSO Category 1. Employee share: 0.5% × RM3,000 = RM15.00. Employer share: 1.75% × RM3,000 = RM52.50. EIS adds another RM6.00 from each side (0.2%).
Common questions
What if my wage is above RM6,000?
SOCSO and EIS are both capped at a RM6,000 wage ceiling, so contributions are calculated on RM6,000 regardless of how much more you actually earn.
Is SOCSO the same as EPF?
No — EPF is a retirement savings scheme where contributions stay in your own account, while SOCSO and EIS are insurance schemes that pool contributions to pay out benefits (medical, disability, unemployment) when something goes wrong. You don't get SOCSO or EIS contributions back as savings.
