Runs on your phone, not on our server

Work out your own score before you apply.

The same six criteria and the same bands the committee will use, run in your browser. It shows the arithmetic line by line, so you can check every mark by hand against the published rubric.

Read the rubric first

Nothing here is sent anywhere

This page has no submit button, no account and no server behind it. Every figure you type stays in the browser tab and is gone when you close it. Nothing is saved to this device, nothing is sent to JKRKS, and JKRKS cannot tell that you used this page or what you put in it. There is no analytics on this site at all.

It also asks for nothing that identifies you. No name, no matric number, no identity card number, no eKasih number, and no box to describe your situation in. If you want to check the claim, the whole file is at assets/js/kalkulator.js and it is about 200 lines.

Your household

Everyone who lives on the household income, including you and including anyone away studying. These figures build your had kifayah.

Count each person once, in one box only

  • The head of the household is the parent or guardian who heads it: your father, your mother where he has died or has left, or your guardian where neither parent is there. That person is the one already counted for you.
  • A brother aged 20 who studies at an IPT goes in the IPT box, and nowhere else, even if he also has a job. His pay still counts in the income figure below.
  • A parent who works goes in working adults, and a parent who does not goes in non working adults. When both parents work, one of them is the head and is counted for you already, so the other one is the 1 you enter.
  • The OKU, chronic illness and childcare boxes do not add people. They add cost for someone already counted above, the head of the household included.
Before any deduction. Every earner at the family home added together, both parents if both of them work. Your own allowance, PTPTN and any scholarship are counted separately, under the third criterion. If it changes month to month, use a normal month.
Not counting the head of the household, who is already counted.
Grandparents who do not work are counted here. LZS publishes no separate figure for an elderly dependant. Not the head of the household, who is counted for you whether they work or not.
University, polytechnic or college. Count yourself.
In school, not at an IPT.
 
Anyone in the household, including you, including a parent, and including the head of the household. This raises what the household needs, and is separate from the last criterion.
A condition needing repeated treatment.
For anyone aged 12 or under. Counted once, not per child.
Including you and including the head of the household. This is only used to check the boxes above add up. It carries no marks.
The form asks this. It carries no marks under this version of the rubric, and the working below says so rather than leaving you guessing.

  • 1.5015
  • 2.007.5
  • 2.50 and above0

A ratio between two rows is marked on a straight line between them, so 0.75 scores 26.25 and not 30. Nothing rounds to your advantage or against you.

Assistance the household holds

Only the strongest one counts, so pick the highest that applies rather than adding them up. If you hold none, the mark is read from the income you entered above.

  • Status marks
  • Household registered on eKasih16
  • JKM recipient: Bantuan Anak Pelajar, Bantuan Kanak Kanak or Bantuan OKU14
  • Zakat education assistance13
  • Household receiving Sumbangan Tunai Rahmah11
  • None of the above, household income below RM2,56010

  • None of the above, RM3,440 to RM4,3098

  • None of the above, RM5,250 to RM11,8193
  • None of the above, RM11,820 and above0

The four assistance lines outrank every income line, so a household on eKasih scores 16 whatever its declared income says.

You
Family allowance, PTPTN spread across the months, and any scholarship living allowance. Do not count what you earn from part time work.

What you earn yourself from part time work is not counted here. Nobody is marked down for working.

Open Google Maps, search your family home's town, get directions to Universiti Malaya, and read the kilometres. We check it the same way.

  • One way marks
  • The journey crosses the sea: family home in Sabah, Sarawak or Labuan18
  • 250 km or more by road15
  • 120 to 250 km12
  • 75 to 120 km10
  • 50 to 75 km8
  • 35 to 50 km6
  • 20 to 35 km4
  • 10 to 20 km2
  • Under 10 km0

Open Google Maps, search the town your family home is in, get directions to Universiti Malaya, and read the kilometres. That is the number. We check it the same way, from your town or postcode, never from your house number. The three bands above 75 km are three marks apart while the commuter bands are two, because the difference at the far end is a difference in kind and not in degree: Johor Bahru, Alor Setar and Kota Bharu are 330 to 470 km and mean home at semester break, Melaka and Ipoh are 145 to 205 and mean home on a long weekend, and Sabah, Sarawak and Labuan mean no journey home at all short of a flight, with no fallback in the peninsula if the bed does not come through. The top band names the sea rather than the aircraft so that it is checked against your address document and cannot be claimed by anyone else. A distance that falls exactly on a boundary takes the higher mark.

The strongest line that applies. Only one is counted.

  • Situation marks
  • Orphaned of both parents16
  • Under a guardian or an institution rather than a parent13
  • Single parent, through death, divorce or desertion12
  • Both parents present, neither working, and no pension12
  • One parent unable to work through disability or illness9
  • You contribute income to the household7
  • Both parents present and supporting you0

The first block already measures how large your household is. This one asks a different question, and the two are marked separately on purpose.

About you, not your household. Your household's OKU and chronic illness are counted further up.
See how this is marked 6 marks
  • Situation marks
  • You are registered OKU with JKM6
  • You have a chronic condition needing repeated treatment5
  • Your family home was damaged by flood or fire in the past 12 months4
  • None of these0

Each of these produces a numbered document, which is the only reason it can be marked at all.

Your estimate

0.0 out of 100

Updates as you type. Nothing is submitted.

What this is not

An estimate, worked out from figures only you have seen. Your real mark is calculated from what you enter on the application form and checked against the documents you upload with it. Where a document does not support what was declared, the declaration is dropped and the mark falls. So this number is as accurate as the figures you just typed and no more.

A high estimate is not an offer, and a low one is not a reason to skip applying. There are two ranked lists and neither cut off is known until every form is in.

Check it against the rubric

Every band the calculator used is printed in full on the rubric page. If a mark here does not match the table there, the mistake is ours and we want to hear about it.

Open the rubric

Then check it again after

Everyone who applies gets their own mark and the breakdown across the six criteria, whether they are offered a place or not. That is what this page is really for: something to compare it against.

What you get told

Apply anyway

Nobody is turned away for a low estimate and nothing you do here reaches the committee. The application form is separate, and the only thing that certainly costs you a place is missing the deadline.
