\[ FV = P \times (1 + r / n)^{(n \times t)} + (0.11 + 0.13) \times salary \times 12 \times \left[\frac{(1 + r / n)^{(n \times t)} - 1}{r / n}\right] / 12 \]

1. What is the EPF Savings Calculator?

The EPF (Employees Provident Fund) Savings Calculator estimates the future value of your EPF savings in Malaysia, taking into account your initial amount, monthly salary contributions, annual dividend rate, and compounding frequency.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the EPF future value formula:

\[ FV = P \times (1 + r / n)^{(n \times t)} + (0.11 + 0.13) \times salary \times 12 \times \left[\frac{(1 + r / n)^{(n \times t)} - 1}{r / n}\right] / 12 \]

Where:

\( FV \) — Future value (MYR)
\( P \) — Initial amount (MYR)
\( r \) — Annual dividend rate (decimal)
\( n \) — Compounding periods per year
\( t \) — Time in years
\( salary \) — Monthly salary (MYR)
0.11 — Employee contribution rate
0.13 — Employer contribution rate

Explanation: The formula calculates the future value of both your initial investment and regular contributions, accounting for compound interest at the specified dividend rate.
