1. What is the Salary Calculator for Contractors?

The Salary Calculator for Contractors in Malaysia helps calculate net salary after deducting statutory contributions (EPF, SOCSO, EIS) and tax deductions (PCB). It's designed specifically for contractors and freelancers in the Malaysian context.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the following formula:

\[ Salary = Rate \times Hours - EPF - SOCSO - EIS - PCB \]

Where:

\( Rate \) — Hourly rate in Malaysian Ringgit (MYR)
\( Hours \) — Total hours worked
\( EPF \) — Employees Provident Fund contribution
\( SOCSO \) — Social Security Organization contribution
\( EIS \) — Employment Insurance System contribution
\( PCB \) — Monthly tax deduction (Potongan Cukai Bulanan)

Explanation: The calculator first calculates gross pay (rate × hours) then subtracts all statutory deductions to arrive at net salary.

3. Importance of Salary Calculation

Details: Accurate salary calculation is crucial for contractors to understand their take-home pay, budget effectively, and ensure compliance with Malaysian labor laws and tax regulations.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter your hourly rate in MYR, total hours worked, and any applicable deductions. All values must be positive numbers. Leave deduction fields as 0 if not applicable.
