1. What is the Part Time Salary Calculator?

This calculator helps part-time workers in Malaysia estimate their annual salary based on their hourly wage and weekly working hours. It's useful for financial planning and comparing job offers.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the following formula:

Where:

• \( Hourly\ Rate \) — Payment per hour in Malaysian Ringgit (MYR)
• \( Hours\ per\ Week \) — Number of hours worked each week
• \( 52 \) — Number of weeks in a year

Explanation: The calculation multiplies the hourly rate by weekly hours to get weekly pay, then multiplies by 52 weeks to estimate annual earnings.

3. Importance of Salary Calculation

Details: Understanding your potential annual earnings helps with budgeting, loan applications, and comparing different part-time job opportunities.
