However, you should also know that there are limits to how much you can contribute to retirement schemes.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Types-of-retirement-schemes-in-Malaysia\"><\/span>Types of retirement schemes in Malaysia<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Let\u2019s take a closer look at the types of retirement schemes in Malaysia and the limits you can contribute to these funds.<\/p>\n<p>Those who work for the government are covered by:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kwap.gov.my\/en\/\"><strong>Kumpulan Wang Amanah Pencen (KWAP).<\/strong><\/a> A public services pension fund fully funded through taxation. There is no contribution from the employee.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ltat.org.my\/\"><strong>Lembaga Tabung Angkatan Tentera (LTAT).<\/strong><\/a> The armed forces pension fund, which is a contribution scheme from enlisted personnel (10% of salary and 15% from the government).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Meanwhile, private sector employees currently have two pension schemes available:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kwsp.gov.my\/about-epf\/corporate-profile\"><strong>Employees\u2019 Provident Fund (EPF).<\/strong><\/a> This is a mandatory scheme for all employed Malaysian citizens and permanent residents. It is a contribution scheme by both employers and employees.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ppa.my\/prs-and-you\/\"><strong>Private Retirement Scheme (PRS).<\/strong><\/a> This is a voluntary investment scheme set up to help Malaysians save more for retirement through long-term investments.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Retirement-contribution-limits-you-should-know\"><\/span>Retirement contribution limits you should know<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Generally, limits to retirement scheme contributions are set to prevent highly paid employees from benefiting excessively compared to the average wage-earner. The same goes for tax deduction limits, to ensure those with higher income do not stand to benefit more from their deductions.<\/p>\n<p>However, contribution limits don&#8217;t apply to all retirement schemes in Malaysia. For example, public sector employees do not contribute to KWAP while LTAT does set a maximum limit of RM2,000 monthly for voluntary contributions.<\/p>\n<p>In the case of EPF, there are annual limits that you are allowed to make through self-contributions schemes. The maximum amount for voluntary contributions, either through self-contribution, i-Saraan, i-Suri, or top-up savings contributions, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kwsp.gov.my\/member\/contribution\/self-contribution\">is limited to RM60,000<\/a> per year.<\/p>\n<p>EPF also sets limits on the mandatory contribution rates according to the employee&#8217;s citizenship status and income level.<\/p>\n<p>\n<table id=\"tablepress-1791\" class=\"tablepress tablepress-id-1791 tbody-has-connected-cells\">\n<thead>\n<tr class=\"row-1\">\n\t<th colspan=\"4\" class=\"column-1\">Contribution rate<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody class=\"row-striping row-hover\">\n<tr class=\"row-2\">\n\t<td colspan=\"4\" class=\"column-1\">For Malaysians, Permanent Resident (PR) or Non-Malaysian (member before 1.8.1998)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-3\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Monthly Salary Rate<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">EPF members below age 60<\/td><td colspan=\"2\" class=\"column-3\">EPF Members aged 60 and above<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-4\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">RM5,000 and below<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">Employee: 9%<br \/>\nEmployer: 13%<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">Malaysian<br \/>\nEmployee: 0%<br \/>\nEmployer: 4%<\/td><td class=\"column-4\">PR, Non-Malaysian<br \/>\nEmployee: 5.5%<br \/>\nEmployer: 6.5%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-5\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">More than RM5,000<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">Employee: 9%<br \/>\nEmployer: 12%<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">Malaysian<br \/>\nEmployee: 0%<br \/>\nEmployer: 4%<\/td><td class=\"column-4\">PR, Non-Malaysian<br \/>\nEmployee: 5.5%<br \/>\nEmployer: 6%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<!-- #tablepress-1791 from cache --><br \/>\n\n<table id=\"tablepress-1790\" class=\"tablepress tablepress-id-1790 tbody-has-connected-cells\">\n<thead>\n<tr class=\"row-1\">\n\t<th colspan=\"3\" class=\"column-1\">Contribution rate<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody class=\"row-striping row-hover\">\n<tr class=\"row-2\">\n\t<td colspan=\"3\" class=\"column-1\">For non-Malaysians registered from 1.8.1998<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-3\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">For all salary rates<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">Employee: 9%<br \/>\nEmployer: RM5.00<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">Employee: 9%<br \/>\nEmployer: RM5.00<br \/>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<!-- #tablepress-1790 from cache --><\/p>\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kwsp.gov.my\/en\/employer\/contribution\/all-about-your-responsibility\">Source: EPF<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.imoney.my\/articles\/prs\">Private Retirement Scheme (PRS)<\/a>, on the other hand, does not have any contribution limit.<\/p>\n<p>One thing to note is that both EPF and PRS have a tax-deductible limit. For EPF, a non-public servant can have a maximum of RM4,000 tax-deductible while a public servant has a higher limit of RM7,000. Regardless of whether you are a public servant or not, PRS offers you a personal tax relief of RM3,000.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How-can-you-increase-your-retirement-contribution\"><\/span>How can you increase your retirement contribution?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you are fortunate enough to have reached the maximum contribution limit allowed by your retirement scheme, it doesn&#8217;t mean you can&#8217;t do more to increase your retirement savings. While EPF has set the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kwsp.gov.my\/en\/web\/guest\/w\/epf-sets-new-target-of-rm240-000-for-basic-savings\">minimum retirement savings target at RM240,000 back in 2019<\/a>, most Malaysians today would need far more than that amount.<\/p>\n<p>A good way to estimate how much you really need is to start with <strong>two-thirds of your final drawn income<\/strong> if you want to maintain your pre-retirement standard of living. For example, if your monthly income of your last working year is RM7,500, then you would need at least RM5,000 when you retire \u2014 unless you\u2019re willing to downgrade or alter your lifestyle significantly.<\/p>\n<div class=\"block\"><div>There are other ways for you to catch up on your retirement savings besides mandatory contributions.
