To calculate restaurant service tax in Malaysia, you need to multiply the amount of your bill by 6%. For example, if your bill is RM100, the service tax would be RM6.

Here is a simple formula for calculating restaurant service tax in Malaysia:

Service tax = Bill amount * 6%
Here are some examples of how to calculate restaurant service tax in Malaysia:

Bill amount | Service tax
------- | -------
RM100 | RM6
RM200 | RM12
RM300 | RM18
RM400 | RM24
RM500 | RM30
Note: Service tax is not charged on the service charge, if any. The service charge is a discretionary tip that is paid to the restaurant staff.

Please note that some restaurants may display their prices inclusive of service tax, while others may display their prices exclusive of service tax. If you are unsure whether or not the service tax is included in the price, you can always ask the restaurant staff.
