1. What is Net Salary Calculation?

The net salary calculation determines an employee's take-home pay after accounting for deductions like unpaid leave, taxes, EPF (Employees Provident Fund), and SOCSO (Social Security Organization) contributions in Malaysia.

Where:

• Gross Salary — Total salary before any deductions
