Overhead & Manpower Calculator

Work out your true monthly overhead and staffing cost — rent, utilities, licenses, food-handler compliance, and staff pay including EPF/SOCSO/EIS — calculated instantly in your browser.

Overhead

Add every recurring or periodic cost of running the business. Pick how often you pay it — a one-time cost like a food handling course can be spread over however many months you choose.

Overhead costs — add each cost, its frequency, and see the monthly equivalent
Item Category Cost (RM) Frequency Amortize? Monthly Equivalent Remove
Total Monthly Overhead RM0.00

Manpower

Add each staff member. Permanent staff get EPF, SOCSO, and EIS calculated automatically. Freelance / casual staff are paid a flat sum with no statutory contributions.

This calculator is built for Malaysian citizen / permanent resident staff under age 60. It does not yet support staff aged 60 and above or non-citizen / non-PR staff — both have different EPF/SOCSO rates that aren't modeled here. Work out those staff members' costs separately for now.

Total Monthly Manpower RM0.00
Total Monthly Overhead + Manpower RM0.00

This total feeds the Overhead and Manpower figures elsewhere in the costing tools — for now, copy it across by hand; a direct connection between the calculators is planned for an upcoming update.

About the numbers: EPF, SOCSO, and EIS are federal (they apply the same way in Sarawak as anywhere else in Malaysia). SOCSO and EIS now use PERKESO's actual published wage-band tables (Act 4 / Act 800, Category 1, under 60), not a percentage approximation. EPF applies the official Third Schedule rounding rule — the percentage, rounded up to the next ringgit — rather than a bare percentage. This still assumes a Malaysian/PR employee under 60; contribution rates differ for non-citizen staff and staff aged 60+, and PCB/MTD income tax isn't included. Verify with KWSP/PERKESO for anything outside that.
