Can you explain this a little? I would like to know if i can do the same with my mom's EPF account. She is pass retirement age but she is still working.

once the person pass retirement age, he can withdraw or deposite voluntarily into the epf account. The dividend will continue to run until certain age.

If you and your dad do not really need the money now,
I suggest you leave it in the EPF as long as you can.

After 15 years, based on an average dividend of 6.19 %,
you will have almost $ 40,000.

Compound interest drives up your savings very fast.

If you could also put in an extra $6,000 every year,
you will have $ 192,000 .

thanks sifu.. but do you know is there any rules state that once the person reach certain age then no more dividend any more? hmm.gif

The interest in EPF is compounded by daily?

i think i should use your advise.. each year deposite my money into my dad EPF account.. btw, the most accurate of timing to deposite the epf is when or after they declare the dividend right? So my gain from this investment can be calculated accurately hmm.gif
