📐 What are the components of a salary calculator?

Calculating your take-home pay involves subtracting all statutory deductions from your total earnings. Use this standard formula to verify your payslip.

Net Salary = Gross Salary – Total Deductions
Standard Malaysian payroll calculation logic

Total Deductions typically include contributions to EPF, SOCSO, EIS, and PCB (Monthly Tax Deduction).

📑 Salary Terms Comparison

Term Description Impact on Net Pay
EPF (KWSP) Employee Provident Fund for retirement savings. Reduces current net pay; increases long-term savings.
SOCSO (PERKESO) Social security protection for workplace injuries. Small deduction for comprehensive insurance coverage.
EIS (SIP) Employment Insurance System for job loss protection. Minimal deduction to provide a safety net during unemployment.
PCB (MTD) Monthly Tax Deduction for income tax payments. Varies based on your specific annual income bracket.
