Overtime, Rest-day & Public-holiday Pay Calculator
Estimate extra pay for one workday, rest day or paid public holiday. For fixed basic monthly pay up to RM4,000 in Peninsular Malaysia and Labuan.
How extra pay is calculated
Start with your daily and hourly rates
For this fixed monthly-pay scope, divide monthly salary by 26, then divide by agreed normal hours per day. Normal-day hours beyond that agreement earn at least 1.5 times the hourly rate. Rest-day work uses half-day and full-day bands; only excess hours use the 2-times hourly rate. Confirm the day from the roster first.
Example: RM2,600 monthly salary and an 8-hour day
The ordinary daily rate is RM100 and hourly rate RM12.50. Working 4 hours on a designated rest day adds RM50; 8 hours adds RM100; 10 hours adds RM150. On a confirmed paid public holiday, 10 hours adds RM275. The RM100 ordinary holiday pay is already in salary, so RM375 is the day-equivalent total, not extra pay.
When this estimate does not apply
This version does not assess Sabah/Sarawak rules, wages above RM4,000, occupational exceptions, variable wages, shifts, disputed holiday entitlement or more favourable contracts. Work after a 10-hour span on a normal day needs time-record analysis. An unsupported case is not a finding of no entitlement; refer it to payroll or JTKSM.
