Scheme Eligibility Checker

See which Malaysian aid schemes and incentives you may qualify for — and what to do next. Private: nothing you enter is saved.

STR (Sumbangan Tunai Rahmah)Likely eligible

Your household income of RM4,000 is within the indicative STR band (≤ RM5,000). The payout depends on your income band and household size.

Next: Register or update your details on the official STR portal (MOF/LHDN) to confirm your band and payout. Official source →

SSPN (education savings)Likely eligible

With 2 children, SSPN deposits earn dividends and qualify for tax relief on net savings.

Next: Open an SSPN account and claim the relief on your net annual deposit. Official source →

Zakat on savingsWorth knowing

Your savings (RM25,000) exceed the indicative nisab (~RM24,000, based on the gold price). Zakat of 2.5% may be due — about RM625 if held for a full year.

Next: Confirm the current nisab (it moves with the gold price) and pay via your state zakat authority — zakat is a full tax rebate. Official source →

Home-loan pre-qualificationLikely eligible

Your current DSR is 22% — comfortable headroom for a new loan (banks typically cap DSR around 60%).

Next: Use the home loan calculator's affordability mode to size a realistic loan. Official source →

Income thresholds and the zakat nisab are indicative and change (with each Budget, or the gold price). This is a guide, not a decision — always confirm with the official source before applying.
