Four diagnostic tools. Real calculations. No login.
Built from three decades of Maslow practice - HRDC levy maths, retrenchment exposure, salary benchmarks, and a 10-minute HR Maturity Assessment. Open any one, get the answer, leave with the data. The conversation comes after, only if you want it.
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 - Maia can answer follow-up questions about any tool's output.
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.
HRDC Levy Calculator
Calculate your 1% HRDC levy obligation against your claimable training balance. Most Malaysian companies recover less than half their entitlement - see what your firm could claim, by deadline.
- Inputs · headcount × average salary × programmes/year
- Output · levy paid · claimable % · unclaimed RM
- Statute · HRD Corp Act 2001 (Act 612)
Retrenchment Benefits Calculator
Calculate statutory severance pay, notice period, and total liability per employee under Malaysian Employment Act 1955. See the worst-case Industrial Court exposure of doing it improperly.
- Inputs · monthly salary · years of service · cohort size
- Output · per-employee & total liability · IC exposure
- Statute · EA 1955 · ETLBR 1980 · s.20 IRA 1967
Salary Benchmark Tool
Industry × function × experience level cuts against the proprietary Maslow Salary & Benefits Databank - 20+ Malaysian sectors. Underpaying costs more than overpaying.
- Inputs · industry · function · experience · location
- Output · market range · median · top quartile
- Source · Maslow Databank · 20+ MY sectors
HR Maturity Assessment
10-minute diagnostic across six dimensions of HR maturity. See where you're strong, where you're exposed, and what to fix first. Most Malaysian firms score below 60% first attempt.
- 6 dimensions across the HR lifecycle
- Output · maturity score per dimension · priority gaps
- Methodology · Maslow proprietary, refined since 1998

Every tool runs the same simple shape - inputs, calculations, output. No account creation, no PDF download, no email follow-up unless you ask for one. The data stays in your browser.

Pick a tool. Open it. No friction step. The first input field is your first interaction. Some tools take 2 minutes; the HR Maturity Assessment takes 10.
No login requiredReal maths, statute-backed.
Calculations run live in the browser. Statute citations under every output. Salary benchmark cuts run against the Maslow Databank - real sectors, real ranges. Your inputs never leave your browser.
Statute-cited outputsTake 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 Maia surface on each tool page can answer it. If you'd like a partner conversation, the CTA is one click.
Conversation optionalGot 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 Maia is for. Ask her about any tool, before or after you run it.
Ask Maia →"How much HRDC are we leaving unclaimed?"
Maia walks through the levy formula, claimable rate vs entitlement, and the deadline math. Then runs the calculation with you.
"What's our retrenchment exposure?"
Per-employee severance, notice, ETLBR benefits - plus the worst-case Industrial Court exposure of getting any of it wrong.
"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.
"Where is our HR function exposed?"
The 6-dimension HR Maturity Assessment, with the partner read on what to prioritise based on your score.
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 Maia 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.
