EPF Contributors Meeting Basic Savings Target Increased from 2025 to 2026

As of May 31, 2026, 38.3% of Employees Provident Fund (EPF) contributors aged 18 to 60, amounting to 3.04 million members, had achieved the Basic Savings target of RM390,000 by age 60. This represents an increase from May 31, 2025, when 35.0% of contributors in the same age group, totaling 2.71 million members, had met this retirement savings benchmark. The Deputy Finance Minister attributed this rise to measures implemented by the EPF.
Percentage of Contributors Meeting Target

By May 31, 2026, 38.3% of the 7.94 million members in this age bracket had met the RM390,000 goal. This figure is up from the previous year, when 35.0% of the 7.74 million members in the same age range had achieved this savings milestone.
Absolute Number of Contributors Meeting Target

In absolute terms, the number of EPF contributors achieving the Basic Savings target also increased. As of May 31, 2026, 3.04 million formal active Malaysian members aged between 18 and 60 had met the RM390,000 benchmark.

EPF Measures Contributing to the Increase

Such expansions have directly assisted members in augmenting their retirement savings.
