What is EPF in Malaysia?

The Employees Provident Fund (EPF), also known as KWSP, is Malaysia's mandatory retirement savings scheme.

Both employees and employers contribute a percentage of monthly wages into the employee's EPF account.

EPF helps employees accumulate long-term retirement savings and provides financial security after leaving the workforce.

How Does EPF Work?

EPF works by collecting monthly contributions from both employees and employers. The employee portion is deducted from monthly salary, while the employer contribution is paid separately by the employer.

These contributions are credited into the employee's EPF account and may grow over time through annual dividends declared by EPF.

Who Needs To Contribute To EPF?

Most employees working in Malaysia are required to contribute to EPF.

Employers are also required to make contributions on behalf of eligible employees according to prevailing EPF contribution schedules.

Employee vs Employer EPF Contribution

Employee EPF contributions are deducted directly from monthly salary and therefore reduce take-home pay.

Employer EPF contributions are paid separately by employers and do not reduce employee take-home salary.

Both contributions belong to the employee and are credited into the employee's EPF account.
