EPF Contribution for Non-Malaysian Workers (Effective October 2025)

Starting October 2025, the Employees Provident Fund (EPF) will introduce a new policy requiring mandatory EPF contributions for all non-Malaysian employees working in Malaysia.

The contribution rates under this policy are:

• Employer: 2% of monthly wages
• Employee: 2% of monthly wages

These rates apply from October 2025 wages, with payment due by the 15th of the following month (e.g., wages for October 2025 must be paid by 15 November 2025).
