Start with salary components
Prepare basic salary, housing allowance and other amounts requested by the calculator instead of treating the entire package as one figure.
Separating the components makes it easier to understand why gross and net pay differ.
Separate other deductions from GOSI
The calculator accepts other deductions separately, helping you avoid attributing every difference in net pay to social insurance.
Use the related GOSI calculator when you want to focus specifically on contribution calculations.
Contributory wage matters
Social-insurance calculations can depend on contributory wage rather than every amount shown in total compensation.
The calculator's reviewed sources include GOSI contribution-rate and contributory-wage information for cases that require closer verification.
Use net pay for comparison, not payroll proof
Changing salary components and deductions can help you compare different pay scenarios.
For a real payroll payment, the employer's payroll record and official GOSI data remain the relevant references.
