38.3% of EPF contributors met the RM390,000 savings goal by age 60 as of May 31, 2026
As of May 31, 2026, 38.3% of Employees Provident Fund (EPF) contributors aged 18 to 60 had achieved the Basic Savings target of RM390,000 by age 60. This involved 3.04 million members out of a total of 7.94 million members in that age group. The figure was higher than the 35.0% recorded as of May 31, 2025.
38.3% of contributors aged 18 to 60 reached the target by age 60
Deputy Finance Minister Liew Chin Tong told the Dewan Rakyat that 3.04 million formal active Malaysian members aged 18 to 60 met the Basic Savings target by age 60. These members represent 38.3% of the 7.94 million members in the same category as of May 31, 2026. The goal is RM390,000 at age 60.
The share rose from 35.0% in the previous year
Liew said the latest 38.3% result is an increase from May 31, 2025. At that earlier date, 35.0% of contributors met the Basic Savings target, involving 2.71 million members out of 7.74 million members aged 18 to 60. The comparison was presented during Question Time in Parliament.
Savings adequacy is measured against the age-based Basic Savings target
The measure of whether contributors have “achieved” the target is based on whether they reached the Basic Savings figure for their respective age group. In this case, the Basic Savings target referenced is RM390,000 at age 60. Liew also linked the increase to EPF measures over recent years, including expanding channels for voluntary savings top-ups.
The data covers formal active Malaysian members in the 18 to 60 age band

The totals cited were 7.94 million members for the May 31, 2026 snapshot and 7.74 million members for the May 31, 2025 snapshot.
