Simpanan Shariah is reported separately only from 2017 — registration opened on 8 August 2016 and Shariah savings were managed from January 2017, so no Shariah rate exists for earlier years. Unlike Simpanan Konvensional it carries no statutory minimum, because its return depends strictly on Shariah-compliant asset yields. Source: KWSP dividend announcements. Verified September 2026.

When Is the EPF Dividend Announced and Credited?

EPF declares the previous year's dividend in late February or early March, and credits it to members' accounts on the announcement date — the 2025 rate of 6.15% follows that pattern. The dividend is calculated on your daily aggregate balance, not on your year-end balance, which is why money contributed in January earns nearly a full year of dividend while money contributed in December earns almost none. Check your credited amount in the i-Akaun app once the announcement is made.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is EPF dividend rate for 2026?
EPF declared 6.15% for Simpanan Konvensional and 6.15% for Simpanan Shariah for 2025, down slightly from 6.30% for both in 2024. Conventional rates for earlier years: 2023 (5.50%), 2022 (5.35%), 2021 (6.10%), 2020 (5.20%), 2019 (5.45%), 2018 (6.15%), 2017 (6.90% — the highest since 1996). EPF has paid above 5% every year for over a decade, and Simpanan Konvensional carries a statutory minimum guaranteed dividend of 2.50% per year.
How is EPF dividend calculated?
EPF dividend is calculated on your daily aggregate balance across the year, not on your year-end balance — so a ringgit contributed in January earns nearly a full year of dividend while one contributed in December earns almost none. As a rough guide: annual dividend ≈ EPF balance × dividend rate. Example: RM100,000 × 6.15% = RM6,150. EPF credits the dividend in late February or early March for the previous year. Compounded at 6.15%, RM100,000 becomes about RM327,000 after 20 years with no further contributions.
Is EPF dividend better than ASB?
EPF paid 6.15% for 2025 and 6.30% for 2024, ahead of ASB over the same period. ASB adds a bonus on top of its base dividend and is open only to Bumiputera, so for non-Bumiputera savers EPF is the strongest government-backed option available. Both are tax-free at the member's hands. Note the liquidity difference: ASB can be withdrawn at any time, while EPF is locked until 55 apart from Akaun Fleksibel (Akaun 3).
When is EPF dividend credited to account?
EPF declares and credits the previous year's dividend in late February or early March. The exact date shifts each year with the announcement, so check the i-Akaun app or kwsp.gov.my once EPF publishes it rather than relying on a fixed date. The dividend is credited on the announcement date itself, not spread through the year.
Should I make voluntary EPF contributions for dividend?
Yes — voluntary contributions earn the same declared dividend as mandatory ones (6.15% for 2025) and qualify for income tax relief. At that rate EPF has consistently beaten fixed deposits, which sit far lower, and it carries a 2.50% statutory minimum on Simpanan Konvensional. The trade-off is liquidity: the money is locked until age 55 apart from Akaun Fleksibel (Akaun 3), so it suits long-horizon savings rather than an emergency fund.
