LINDUNG 24 Jam (SKBBK) extends your cover to accidents outside working hours. In force since 1 June 2026, it is paid entirely by the employee at 0.75% of wages (rising to 1.00% in June 2028 and 1.25% in June 2031) and the employer contributes nothing. Employees are registered automatically but may opt out, so it is excluded here by default — switch it on to see the effect on your monthly deduction.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) on SOCSO Malaysia

What is the current SOCSO wage ceiling?

The SOCSO and EIS wage ceiling is RM6,000 per month, effective since October 2024, meaning contributions are capped at that salary level regardless of how much more an employee earns.

What are SOCSO's two contribution categories?

Category 1 covers the Employment Injury Scheme and Invalidity Scheme with both employer and employee contributing, while Category 2 covers only the Employment Injury Scheme, paid solely by the employer.

What is the SOCSO Category 1 contribution rate?

Employers contribute approximately 1.75% and employees approximately 0.5% of monthly wages, calculated using PERKESO’s official banded table rather than a flat percentage.

What is EIS and how does it differ from SOCSO?

The Employment Insurance System provides temporary financial assistance to workers who lose their jobs, contributed at 0.2% each from employer and employee, and is paid alongside SOCSO but under a separate Act.

Who is excluded from EIS contributions?

Foreign workers, employees aged 60 and above, and domestic workers are excluded from EIS, though foreign workers are still covered under SOCSO’s Invalidity Scheme.

What counts as "wages" for SOCSO purposes?

Wages generally include basic salary and most fixed allowances like housing, transport, and food, but typically exclude overtime, annual bonuses, directors’ fees, and service charges.

When is the SOCSO payment deadline?

Employers must pay SOCSO contributions by the 15th of the month following the wage period, with late payments attracting 6% per annum interest.

Are foreign workers covered under SOCSO?

Yes, as of July 2024, foreign workers are included in SOCSO’s Invalidity Scheme coverage, with contribution rates applied equally to local and foreign employees.

Do self-employed individuals need to contribute to SOCSO?

Self-employed individuals and sole proprietors aren’t covered under the standard employer-employee SOCSO scheme, though separate self-employment social security schemes exist.

How do I report a workplace accident to SOCSO?

Employers must file Form 21 with PERKESO within 48 hours of a workplace accident to ensure the affected employee’s claim is properly processed.

Does this calculator use the exact PERKESO table or a percentage estimate?

This calculator reflects the official banded contribution table, since a straight percentage calculation can produce a slightly different figure from PERKESO’s actual schedule.

What happens if an employer doesn't pay SOCSO on time?

Late payments incur a 6% per annum interest charge for each day overdue, in addition to potential penalties for non-compliance.
