Why we make the tools free

Every tool earns its place - by being useful, not by capturing your email.

The HR Director typing "HRDC levy formula Malaysia" into Google at 7:45am needs the answer, not a brochure. Maslow's four free tools are designed for that visitor. Full calculations on the page. Statute citations under each result. No login, no signup, no email-gate. If the tool answers the question, that's the whole point - the conversation about us comes after, only if you want it. The tools also feed Maslow Intelligence - MIA can answer follow-up questions about any tool's output.
The 4 tools · pick one

Four tools. Four answers. Three to ten minutes each.

Each tool below produces a concrete number or score that you can take into your next board meeting. The calculations run live in the browser; the data sources are statute (EA 1955, IRA 1967, HRDC scheme rules) and the proprietary Maslow databank. Updated when the regulations change.

Tool · 01 · HRDC

Stage · Decide

Take the number. Talk if needed.

Output is yours to keep - copy, screenshot, paste into a board paper. If the result raises a follow-up, the MIA surface on each tool page can answer it. If you'd like a partner conversation, the CTA is one click.

Conversation optional
Maslow Intelligence · For the tools too

Got the number. Now ask the follow-up.

Every tool produces a calculation. The follow-up question - "why is that number what it is", "what should I do with it", "what would change it" - is what MIA is for. Ask her about any tool, before or after you run it.

Ask MIA →
Prompt · 01
"How much HRDC are we leaving unclaimed?"

MIA walks through the levy formula, claimable rate vs entitlement, and the deadline math. Then runs the calculation with you.

Prompt · 02
"What's our retrenchment exposure?"

Per-employee severance, notice, ETLBR benefits - plus the worst-case Industrial Court exposure of getting any of it wrong.

Prompt · 03
"Are we paying our senior managers correctly?"

Maslow Databank cuts by industry × function × level. Median, range, top quartile. Where you sit relative to retention risk.

Prompt · 04
"Where is our HR function exposed?"

The 6-dimension HR Maturity Assessment, with the partner read on what to prioritise based on your score.

FAQ · 04

Four questions about the tools.

Written for the question typed into Google at 7:45am, and marked up as FAQPage for AI overviews on every other day.

Q · 01
Are the tools really free? What's the catch?
+

Yes - fully free. No login, no signup, no email-gate, no PDF download required. The tools are an honest commercial play: if they answer your question well, we earn the right to be the next call when the question is bigger than a calculator can answer. That's the whole catch. Your inputs run in your browser and are never sent to Maslow.

Q · 02
How are the calculations validated?
+

Every tool's calculation is anchored to statute or the Maslow Databank. The HRDC Calculator runs against the HRD Corp Act 2001 (Act 612) and the SBL Khas / HRDC Plus scheme rules. The Retrenchment Calculator runs against EA 1955, ETLBR 1980, and s.20 IRA 1967. The Salary Benchmark runs against the proprietary Maslow Salary & Benefits Databank, refreshed annually across 20+ Malaysian sectors. The HR Maturity Assessment is Maslow's own proprietary methodology, refined since 1998.

Q · 03
Will my inputs be stored or sent to Maslow?
+

No. All calculations run client-side in your browser. Your inputs are not transmitted to Maslow servers, not stored in any database, not used to populate a CRM. The only data Maslow receives is what you choose to share - by clicking a "Discuss with a partner" CTA after a calculation, by emailing customer care, or by asking MIA a follow-up question.

Q · 04
How accurate is the Salary Benchmark for Malaysian roles specifically?
+

The benchmark is built specifically for Malaysian pay markets - 20+ MY sectors cut by industry × function × experience level × location. Malaysian pay markets do not map cleanly to ASEAN or APAC averages, so generic global reports often misprice mid-management bands. The Maslow Databank is refreshed annually from the firm's active engagement portfolio (anonymised). For a deeper conversation about a specific role, the full Salary Benchmarking sub-practice under SHRC Strategic Talent runs custom pay-band design and pay-equity reviews.

Four tools. Free. The conversation is optional.

Run the calculation that matters. Save the screenshot. Take it to your next board meeting. If the number raises a follow-up the calculator can't answer, the conversation is one click away - always free, always with a senior consultant.
