Maid Salary Calculator Malaysia

Start from the agreed monthly salary, add any rest day worked, then take off the SOCSO contribution the maid bears and any agreed loan instalment. What is left is the net payable for that month. A month that is not a full month - the first and the last of a contract - is pro-rated over a 26-day working month rather than over the calendar, so a contract starting mid-month does not quietly pay for days nobody worked.

RM32.60 a month in total under the First Category: RM25.35 from the employer and RM7.25 from the employee. Under the Second Category, which covers the Employment Injury Scheme only, it is RM18.10 and the whole of it is the employer's. These are the figures from the PERKESO Rate of Contribution schedule for wages above RM1,400 and not above RM1,500, and they are a flat amount for the band rather than a percentage of the exact wage.

Both shares exist under the First Category, but many agencies and employers agree that the employer bears the whole contribution so that the maid's take-home pay is the round figure she was quoted. The calculator offers both: borne by the employer, in which case nothing is deducted and the employer's cost is salary plus contribution, or shared, in which case the maid's statutory share appears as a deduction on each payslip.

A rest day worked is paid at one and a half times the ordinary daily rate, and the daily rate is the monthly salary divided by 26. On RM1,500 a month that is RM86.54 for the day. The calculator derives it from the salary rather than holding it as a separate figure, so raising the salary raises the rest day rate with it instead of leaving the two to drift apart.

Then the pay periods run from the anniversary of the start date - a contract beginning on the 15th is paid 15th to 14th - which is how most domestic helper contracts are actually written. The calculator can also use whole calendar months instead, in which case the first and last periods are pro-rated by the days worked in them.

Yes, and it is better written into the schedule than remembered. Enter the total and the number of months and the instalment is spread evenly across them, capped so the final instalment clears the balance exactly and no month deducts more than is still owed. Every payslip then shows the instalment and what remains.

A salary payment schedule on the agency's letterhead: one line per pay period showing basic pay, rest day allowance, SOCSO and loan deduction and the net payable, a signature block for both parties, and an individual payslip for every month of the contract. It prints to PDF, and it can be sent to the employer over WhatsApp as a link.

No. The calculation happens in your own browser and the draft is kept only in that browser, so passport and identity card numbers are not uploaded anywhere by the act of typing them. A copy leaves the browser only if you choose to share the document, and even then the maid's passport number and the employer's identity card number are left out of what is sent.
