Understanding MPF Contributions
The Mandatory Provident Fund (MPF) is Hong Kong's retirement protection scheme introduced in 2000. Except for exempt persons, all employees and self-employed persons aged 18 to 64 must join an MPF scheme. Employers and employees each contribute 5% of the relevant income per month. The current minimum relevant income level is HK$7,100 and the maximum is HK$30,000.
For Hong Kong employees, MPF is an important part of retirement savings. Although monthly contributions may seem small, they add up over time together with investment returns, potentially building a sizeable asset by retirement. In addition, MPF contributions are tax-deductible when calculating Salaries Tax: the employee's mandatory contributions can be deducted from assessable income, effectively reducing the tax burden.
HK FinBox's MPF contribution calculator lets you enter your monthly or daily salary, then automatically calculates the monthly contributions payable by employee and employer and shows the tax-deductible amount. Whether you are full-time, part-time or self-employed, this tool helps you quickly understand your MPF obligations.
Review your MPF account's investment portfolio and performance regularly to make sure the risk level matches your age and retirement goals. If you change employers, remember to consolidate your personal account and contribution account to avoid having too many scattered accounts. In addition, although voluntary contributions cannot be withdrawn at any time, they offer extra tax deductions and help accelerate retirement savings.
