How do I add 8% SST to a net price?

What is the difference between Sales Tax and Service Tax?

SST is two separate taxes. Sales Tax is a single-stage tax on manufactured and imported goods, charged at 5% or 10%. Service Tax applies to taxable services and is charged at 8% (6% for telecommunications and food & beverage). This calculator uses 8% as the primary rate; change the rate field for goods at 5% or 10%.

Is SST the same as the old GST in Malaysia?

No. Malaysia replaced its 6% Goods and Services Tax (GST) with SST in September 2018. Unlike GST, SST is not a multi-stage value-added tax — it is charged once, either on the manufacture/import of goods or on the supply of taxable services.

Malaysia SST Calculator (Sales and Services Tax) 2025

Malaysia’s Sales and Services Tax (SST) replaced GST in September 2018. Service Tax is charged at a standard 8% as of 2025 (raised from 6% on 1 March 2024, with telecommunications and food & beverage staying at 6%), while Sales Tax on goods is 5% or 10%. This calculator lets businesses, freelancers and shoppers add SST to a net price or strip it out of a tax-inclusive total in one step.

How it works

Enter an amount and pick a mode:

Add tax — your amount is the net price. The tax is net × rate ÷ 100 and the gross is net + tax. At 8%, gross = net × 1.08.
Remove tax — your amount is the gross (tax-inclusive) price. The net is gross ÷ (1 + rate ÷ 100), so at 8% net = gross ÷ 1.08, and the tax is the difference.

The rate field defaults to 8% but you can override it — for example 6% for telco/F&B services, or 5%/10% for goods Sales Tax.

Example

A consultancy invoice is RM 2,000 net. In Add tax mode at 8%: tax = 2000 × 0.08 = RM 160, gross = RM 2,160. To go the other way, entering RM 2,160 in Remove tax mode returns net 2160 ÷ 1.08 = RM 2,000 and tax RM 160.

Item	Rate	Net	Tax	Gross
Taxable service	8%	RM 2,000	RM 160	RM 2,160
Telco / F&B service	6%	RM 2,000	RM 120	RM 2,120
Goods (high rate)	10%	RM 2,000	RM 200	RM 2,200
