Question

Accepted Answer

38.3% in 2026 versus 35.0% in 2025: EPF members meeting the Basic Savings target rose by 3.3 percentage points
As of May 31, 2026, 38.3% of EPF contributors aged 18 to 60 had met the Basic Savings target of RM390,000 at age 60. In the prior year, as of May 31, 2025, 35.0% of contributors in the same age range had met that target. This means the share meeting the retirement savings target increased by 3.3 percentage points between 2025 and 2026.
The Basic Savings target and the age group used for the measure
The retirement savings adequacy is assessed by whether contributors have achieved the Basic Savings target for their respective age group. For the comparison cited, the target is RM390,000 at age 60, covering EPF contributors aged 18 to 60.
2025 figures: 35.0% met the target as of May 31, 2025
As of May 31, 2025, 35.0% of formal active Malaysian members aged 18 to 60 met the Basic Savings target. The figure given was 2.71 million out of 7.74 million members in that age category.
2026 figures: 38.3% met the target as of May 31, 2026
As of May 31, 2026, 38.3% of formal active Malaysian members aged 18 to 60 met the Basic Savings target. This was 3.04 million out of 7.94 million members in that category.
The size of the increase between the two dates
Comparing the two shares, 38.3% in 2026 minus 35.0% in 2025 equals a rise of 3.3 percentage points. The same comparison also reflects an increase in the number of members meeting the target from 2.71 million to 3.04 million.
