1. What is the EPF Saving Calculator?

The EPF (Employees Provident Fund) Saving Calculator estimates the future value of your EPF savings based on your initial amount, monthly salary, contribution rates, and expected dividend returns. It helps you plan for retirement by projecting your EPF savings growth over time.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the EPF formula:

\[ FV = P \times (1 + r)^t + (0.11 + \text{employer rate}) \times \text{salary} \times 12 \times \frac{(1 + r)^t - 1}{r} \]

Where:

\( FV \) — Future Value (MYR)
\( P \) — Initial Amount (MYR)
\( r \) — Annual Dividend Rate (decimal)
\( t \) — Time in years
\( 0.11 \) — Employee contribution rate (11%)
employer rate — Employer contribution rate (decimal)
salary — Monthly salary (MYR)

Explanation: The formula calculates the compound growth of your initial savings plus the accumulated value of regular contributions made over time.

3. Importance of EPF Calculation

Details: Accurate EPF projection is crucial for retirement planning, helping you understand how your savings will grow and whether you need to make additional retirement preparations.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter your current EPF balance as the initial amount, your expected average annual dividend rate, number of years until retirement, your monthly salary, and your employer's contribution rate. All values must be valid non-negative numbers.
