1. What is Monthly Net Salary?

Monthly net salary is the amount an employee takes home after all deductions including taxes, EPF (Employees Provident Fund), and SOCSO (Social Security Organization) contributions. This calculator helps convert hourly wages to monthly take-home pay in Malaysia.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the following formula:

\[ \text{Monthly Net Pay} = \frac{(\text{Hourly Wage} \times \text{Hours per Week} \times 52) - \text{Income Tax} - \text{EPF} - \text{SOCSO}}{12} \]

Where:

Hourly Wage — Your pay rate per hour (MYR)
Hours per Week — Typical working hours each week
52 — Number of weeks in a year
Income Tax — Estimated annual income tax
EPF — Employees Provident Fund (11% of gross salary)
SOCSO — Social Security contributions (~0.5% of gross salary)

3. Understanding Malaysian Deductions

EPF (Employees Provident Fund): Mandatory retirement savings contribution (11% from employee, 13% from employer).
SOCSO: Social security protection covering work-related injuries and invalidity.
Income Tax: Progressive tax based on annual income brackets (PCB system).

4. Using the Calculator
