About the Unpaid Leave Calculator

Taking cuti tanpa gaji, or joined mid-month? This calculator shows exactly how much is deducted. The default basis is the Employment Act ordinary rate of pay - monthly wages divided by 26 (section 60I) - and you can switch to calendar-day proration (28 to 31 days), since company policies differ. The comparison table shows every basis side by side so there are no surprises on payday.

HR teams automate unpaid leave, proration and the statutory deductions that follow with HRWork.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is unpaid leave deducted in Malaysia?
The common statutory basis is the Employment Act ordinary rate of pay: monthly wages divided by 26, multiplied by the number of unpaid days. Some companies prorate by calendar days of the month (28-31) instead - check your contract or policy.
Is the 26-day basis mandatory?
The 26-day divisor is how the Employment Act defines the ordinary rate of pay for a monthly-rated employee (section 60I). For proration of an incomplete month of service the Act uses calendar days; for unpaid leave deductions most policies use one of the two consistently.
Does unpaid leave affect EPF, SOCSO and PCB?
Yes - statutory contributions are calculated on the wages actually paid for the month, so a lower payable salary usually means lower EPF, SOCSO, EIS and PCB in that month. Run the payable amount through the Salary Calculator to see the effect.

The 26-day basis follows the Employment Act 1955 ordinary rate of pay (section 60I); calendar-day bases are shown for comparison as policies differ. Your contract, collective agreement or company policy determines the basis that applies to you. Refer to JTKSM (Labour Department) for official guidance.
