i-Saraan (KWSP Malaysia)
i-Saraan is a voluntary EPF (KWSP) contribution program specially designed for:
- Self-employed individuals
- Gig workers (Grab, Foodpanda, freelancers, etc.)
- Business owners
- Housewives
- Anyone without a fixed employer
You contribute voluntarily to your KWSP savings, and the government will give you a matching incentive.
What’s the Government Incentive?
The government will match 15% of your contribution, up to a maximum of RM500 per year. Your Yearly Contribution Government Incentive (15%)
How does it work?
- Yearly Contribution: RM1,000 ; Return: RM150
- Yearly Contribution: RM3,333: Return: RM500 (max)
- Yearly Contribution: RM5,000; Return: RM500 (still max)
Assume
- You start from 18 years old
- You only invest RM3,333 per year under i-saraan and you get the RM500 matching grant
- The accumulated fund generate only 5% return per year thereafter
Question:
- At age 45 you would have invested 27 years x RM3,333 = RM89,991.
- How much would you have in EPF?
- What would be the Return to you?
Answer:
- Total Amount Paid Over 37 Years:
You paid RM3,833 per year for 37 years.
Total Paid = RM3,833/year x 37 years = RM141,821 - Simple Return:
Future Value = RM412,301.26
Total Paid = RM141,821
Return = RM412,301.26 – RM141,821 = RM270,480.26 - Percentage Return
= (RM270,480.26 / RM141,821) x 100%
= 190.72% - Simple Return per annum
= 190% / 37 years
= 5.14% per year
