What is Central Provident Fund (CPF)?
The Non-Mandatory Central Provident Fund (CPF), effective from January 1, 2018, aims to enhance the retirement protection of Macau residents and supplement the existing social security system. Macau resident aged 18 or above, or under 18 but already registered in the social security system, are eligible to own a CPF personal account.
The Central Provident Fund consists of the Contributory system and Allocation system. Under normal circumstances, account owners who are over 65 years old can apply to withdraw funds from their Non-Mandatory Central Provident Fund’s individual accounts. |
||
| Allocation system | Automatically established and managed by the Social Security Fund | The incentive basic funds and special allocation from budget surplus made to eligible Macao residents by the SAR Government, subject to budget execution for the past fiscal years |
| Contributory system | Managed by a qualified fund management entity (e.g., Manulife Macau) | There are two types of schemes: Joint Provident Fund Scheme: Voluntarily established by the employer, with voluntary participation by employees. Both the employer and employee choose suitable funds and allocation strategies for their respective contributions. Each party must contribute at least 5% of the employee’s basic salary on a monthly basis. Individual Provident Fund Scheme: Voluntarily established and participated in by the individual account holder of CPF. The minimum monthly contribution is MOP 500, and the maximum is MOP 3,500. Contribution increases must be in increments of MOP 100. |
