What is so difficult about it? We know that EPF contribution deducts 11% off your gross, there's SOCSO for RM14.75, and beyond a certain range, you get to use the tangga cukai to calculate PCB. Unless you are earning commission (which nature makes it difficult to calculate the net salary in the first place), knowing the net salary can be done by using simple calculations

I know this because I see people's salary 10 times a day I don't share it with anyone, but when people ask, which industry they should be in and which job should they take, i can immediately give them suggestions

Thank you, if you think I am good, well if you know anyone who is interested in getting a mortgage, send them to me. I will TEACH them!

Back on topic, that salary is good for a fresh graduate. Not on the low side, and not on the high side. IT is a competitive field, many are paid less than what you are being offered. Sure, there may be some better offers, but it is within the acceptable ball park.

Some of my IT background clients are earning RM2200 and 2000...

edit: And to answer your question, most salary quoted is GROSS salary. If the salary your are offered with is less than RM3500, just minus 12% off that salary to get aBALL PARK figure of your net salary

Noted. And I was trying to tell the previous poster about how to ballpark the net income. But yeah, the quoted salary is usually gross salary, least that is the practice in Malaysia.

Thanks for sharing anyway
