What is EPF?
The Employees Provident Fund (EPF) is Malaysia’s mandatory retirement savings scheme. Both employers and employees contribute a percentage of the monthly salary into the fund, helping employees build long-term financial security.

How EPF Contributions Are Calculated
EPF is calculated as a percentage of the employee’s gross monthly salary, split into two parts: the employee’s contribution and the employer’s contribution.
Contribution rates vary based on monthly salary, age group, and residency status. See our full guide on EPF contribution rates for a detailed breakdown.
The total monthly EPF contribution is the sum of both the employee and employer amounts. Here’s a quick example:
An employee in Malaysia has a gross monthly salary of RM5,000.
Employee Contribution (11% of RM5,000) = RM550
Employer Contribution (13% of RM5,000) = RM650
Total EPF Contribution (RM550 + RM650) = RM1,200
Therefore, the total monthly EPF contribution for this employee would be RM1,200, with RM550 coming from the employee’s salary and RM650 contributed by the employer.
