For OFWs working in Malaysia
Based on current KWSP guidance, the mandatory EPF rate for non-Malaysian workers effective October 2025 is 2% employee contribution plus 2% employer contribution.
Historical EPF dividend rates have often been in the 5% to 6% range.
The Employees Provident Fund (EPF), or KWSP, is Malaysia’s retirement savings system. For OFWs and other non-Malaysian workers based in Malaysia, understanding both contribution rates and dividend growth helps with longer-term planning.
