1. What is Salary Range Penetration?

Salary Range Penetration is a metric used in compensation analysis to determine where an employee's salary falls within a defined pay range. It helps organizations understand how individual salaries compare to the established minimum and maximum of a pay grade.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the Salary Range Penetration formula:

\[ \text{Penetration} = \frac{\text{Salary} - \text{Min Range}}{\text{Max} - \text{Min}} \times 100 \]

Where:

\( \text{Salary} \) — Employee's current salary (MYR)
\( \text{Min Range} \) — Minimum of the salary range (MYR)
\( \text{Max Range} \) — Maximum of the salary range (MYR)

Explanation: The formula calculates what percentage an employee's salary is above the minimum of their pay range, relative to the full range width.

3. Importance of Salary Range Penetration

Details: Salary range penetration is crucial for compensation planning, identifying pay compression issues, ensuring internal equity, and making informed decisions about salary adjustments and promotions.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the employee's current salary in MYR, the minimum of the salary range in MYR, and the maximum of the salary range in MYR. All values must be valid positive numbers, with max greater than min, and salary between min and max.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
