I was at my kids tuition center waiting to pick up my kid ans struck a conversation with another waiting parent. The topic of course centered on education and the topic vered towards saving for child education and SSPN was brought up.
........
I told her, if my wife and I were to put in RM 6,000.00 [ this is the max tax relief per depositor ] each per annum into SSPN earning a 4.5% [ this is the historical return of SSPN ] dividend per annum. Let's assume I start saving at age one [ I actually open my kid's SSPN account when he was four days old ]
..................
Let's assume inflation for tertiary education is 6% per annum. Now I work backwards and see how much this MYR 394K is worth in today's money....
= equivalent to RM 116K in today's value with 6% adjusted inflation.

I for one does not know how to calculate the future value....I participated in the SSPN for the immediate gratification from having pay less taxes + additional "forced" saving....
it is actually nice to know from your calculation that the amount I can managed to save from this sspn....
if not for the goal of immediate gratification of tax savings.....I would force my self to go more into this UT things....
from the below post, looks like the ROI of UT is much better than SSPN....
looking from your calculation, the extra 2% pa over that duration will be more substantial.....

UTF investing is not skim cepat kaya, she needs to utilise the magic of compounding to work her magic.
A very conservative compounding of 6% [ which is very easily achievable with UTF investing ] can very much beat the current inflation. If you are abit gung ho, you may engineer your portfolio to go for 9% or 12% if you are a young person with very long investing horizon. UTF works well around this ROI range given time.
What UTF investing is not is when participant treat it as a trading platform to go in and out like stock market. This, UTF investing is a very poor choice for such a purpose.
