1. What is the Net OT Calculator?

The Net OT Calculator calculates overtime pay after tax deductions in Malaysia. It helps employees estimate their actual take-home overtime earnings by accounting for applicable tax rates.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the formula:

Where:

• \( OT\ Pay \) — Overtime pay amount in Malaysian Ringgit (MYR)
• \( Tax\ Rate \) — Applicable tax rate as a decimal (e.g., 0.15 for 15%)

Explanation: The formula subtracts the tax amount from the gross overtime pay to calculate the net amount the employee will actually receive.

3. Importance of Net OT Calculation

Details: Accurate net OT calculation helps employees understand their actual earnings and plan their finances accordingly. It also helps employers ensure proper compensation calculations.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the overtime pay amount in MYR and the applicable tax rate as a decimal value (e.g., 0.25 for 25%). Both values must be valid (OT Pay ≥ 0, Tax Rate between 0-1).
