1. What is the KWSP Retirement Calculator?

The KWSP (Employees Provident Fund) Retirement Calculator estimates the future value of your EPF savings based on initial amount, dividend rate, time, salary, and employer contribution rate. It helps Malaysians plan for their retirement savings.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the KWSP retirement formula:

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

Where:

\( FV \) — Future value (MYR)
\( P \) — Initial EPF amount (MYR)
\( r \) — Dividend rate (decimal)
\( t \) — Time in years
\( salary \) — Monthly salary (MYR)
\( employer rate \) — Employer contribution rate (0.13 or 0.12)

Explanation: The formula calculates compound growth of initial EPF plus future contributions with compound interest.
