EPF (Employees Provident Fund) or KWSP (Malay: Kumpulan Wang Simpanan Pekerja) is a & #39;federal statutory body under the purview of the Ministry of Finance& #39;.

EPF manages the compulsory retirement savings and retirement plans for al working Malaysians in the private sector.
The types of contributions are:

- Mandatory Contribution
- Voluntary Contribution
MANDATORY CONTRIBUTION

Full time employees in the private sector are under mandatory contribution. Mandatory contributions are made up of both employers and employees %)

Employee& #39;s Contribution (deducted from monthly salary)
11%-old share percentage
7%-new share percentage
Employer& #39;s Contribution (paid by company/employer)
13%-for monthly salaries of RM5,000 and below
12%-for monthly salaries of more than RM5,000

Mandatory contributions are made up of both shares and paid by your employers on a monthly basis.
For example, if your fixed salary is RM2,500/month, your monthly EPF contributions are:

Employee& #39;s contribution of 11%-RM275

Your employer will make the contribution of RM600/month into your EPF account.
