How to Use This Calculator
To calculate your medical card eligibility and premiums in Malaysia:

The calculator uses the official government formula for medical card premiums in Malaysia. Results are estimates and may vary based on your specific circumstances.
Formula Used
The medical card premium in Malaysia is calculated using the following formula:
Monthly Premium = Base Premium + (Dependent Premium × Number of Dependents)
Where:
- Base Premium depends on age and marital status
- Dependent Premium is a fixed amount per dependent
The exact base premium amounts are determined by the Malaysian government and may change annually. This calculator uses the most recent published rates.
Worked Example
Let's calculate the premium for a 35-year-old single person with 2 dependents:
- Base premium for a single 35-year-old: RM 120
- Dependent premium per dependent: RM 30
- Number of dependents: 2
- Total premium = 120 + (30 × 2) = RM 180
This example shows the estimated monthly premium would be RM 180.
