1. What is the Malaysia Salary Calculation?

The Malaysia Salary Calculator estimates your take-home pay (net salary) after deducting income tax, EPF (Employees Provident Fund), and SOCSO (Social Security Organization) contributions from your gross salary for the year 2022.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the following formula:

Where:

• \( Gross\ Salary \) — Your total salary before deductions (MYR)
• \( 2022\ Tax \) — Income tax for year 2022 (MYR)
• \( EPF \) — Employees Provident Fund contribution (MYR)
• \( SOCSO \) — Social Security Organization contribution (MYR)

Explanation: The calculator subtracts all mandatory deductions from your gross salary to show your actual take-home pay.

3. Importance of Net Salary Calculation

Details: Understanding your net salary helps in financial planning, budgeting, and ensuring you're being paid correctly according to Malaysia's 2022 tax and contribution rates.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter your gross salary in MYR, 2022 tax amount, EPF contribution, and SOCSO contribution. All values must be valid positive numbers.
