Using the calculator
How to Calculate Maid Salary in Singapore
Enter the salary and pay period, choose how to enter rest days, then review the full breakdown.
How does the calculator work?
Enter a monthly salary. Tick Full Month to use 4 Sundays, optionally select a month for its actual Sunday count, or enter dates for an incomplete month. Enter either off days or rest days worked. Add any leave adjustments and select Calculate.
How is the daily rate calculated?
The calculator divides monthly salary by 26 and rounds the daily rate to two decimal places before calculating the pay components. The final pay is rounded up to the nearest $0.10.
How are incomplete months counted?
For the selected date range, the calculator counts both start and end dates, excludes Sundays and caps the base work days at 26. Check that these assumptions suit the arrangement you are calculating.
What do the two annual leave fields mean?
Unpaid Leave Days to Deduct subtracts unpaid days already included in the base pay. Annual Leave Compensation (days) adds payment for unused annual leave. Enter whole days and check the agreed arrangement before using either field.
Can I share the pay summary?
After calculating, use Send via WhatsApp to open a prepared summary. You can review it and choose the recipient before sending.
Can I start again?
Select Reset to clear the entries and hide the pay summary.
