What is EPF?
The Employees Provident Fund (EPF) is a mandatory social security scheme in Malaysia aimed at providing retirement benefits and savings for employees. Both employers and employees contribute a percentage of the employee’s salary to the EPF fund every month.
Why Should I Use an EPF Calculator?
Manually calculating EPF contributions can be tedious and prone to errors. With an EPF calculator, you can easily and accurately estimate your contributions based on your current salary, helping you verify if your employer is deducting the correct amount of EPF contributions based on the latest rates.
How to Use an EPF Calculator?
Enter your gross monthly salary in the designated field.
Select your Age Group and Residential Status.
Click “Calculate“.
The calculator will automatically display the employee’s and employer’s EPF contribution amounts.
That’s it!
How is EPF Calculated?
EPF contributions are calculated based on the employee’s monthly salary. It involves two main components: employee contribution and employer contribution.
To calculate contributions for your employees, you’ll need to take into account a number of factors, including monthly salary rate, as well as the age and residency status of your employees. For more information, check out our article on EPF contribution rates.
To find the total monthly EPF contribution, simply add the employee contribution and the employer contribution. To better understand this, let’s take a look at this 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.
