Your MPF contributions

Your MPF contributions

If you are an employee (full time or part-time), both you and your employer are required to make regular MPF mandatory contributions for you, based on your ‘relevant income’ as follows:

Monthly Relevant Income Mandatory Contribution Amount
Employer’s Contributions
Employee’s Contributions
Less than HK$7,100 Relevant income x 5% Not required 
HK$7,100 - HK$30,000 Relevant income x 5% Relevant income x 5% 
More than HK$30,000 HK$1,500 HK$1,500 

‘Relevant income’ refers to wages, salaries, leave pay, fees, commissions, bonuses, gratuities, perquisites or allowances, expressed in monetary terms, paid or payable by an employer to an employee, but excludes severance payments or long service payments under the Employment Ordinance.

All mandatory contributions are immediately vested in you, except for the MPF derived from the employer’s contributions for offsetting severance payments or long service payments.

If you are self-employed, you are required to make MPF mandatory contributions as follows:

Relevant Income Self-employed Person’s Contributions
Annual
Monthly Average
Less than HK$85,200 Less than HK$7,100 Not required
HK$85,200 - HK$360,000 HK$7,100 - HK$30,000 Relevant income x 5%
More than HK$360,000 More than HK$30,000 HK$360,000 x 5% = HK$18,000 per year
OR
HK$30,000 x 5% = HK$1,500 per month

Whether you are an employee, personal account holder or self-employed person, you may also consider making additional contributions (i.e. voluntary contributions, tax deductible voluntary contributions (‘TVC’) and special voluntary contributions (‘SVC’) (including the Flexi-Contributions)) in light of your personal needs.
