MPF for employers

How you contribute as an employer

Making MPF contributions for your employees

HSBC MPF enables employers to make contributions and fulfil their administrative responsibilities easily.

Both employers and employees are required to make regular mandatory contributions to an MPF scheme, based on the employee's relevant income, subject to minimum and maximum relevant income levels.

In addition to mandatory contributions, employers can also enhance their employees' benefits by making additional voluntary contributions.

Business Internet Banking

Business Internet Banking allows you to conveniently make contributions online.

Contribution

Under MPF legislation, employers and employees are both required to make mandatory contributions calculated at 5% of the employee's relevant income. In other words, the amount of mandatory contributions for each employee is comprised of 2 portions – the employer's mandatory contributions for the employee and the employee's mandatory contributions. 

Mandatory contributions are subject to minimum and maximum relevant income levels. MPFA reviews the minimum and maximum relevant income levels regularly and employers should always refer to the latest levels published on the MPFA website.

The current minimum relevant income level of HKD7,100 per month applies to contribution periods starting 1 November 2013, while the current maximum relevant income level of HKD30,000 per month applies to contribution periods starting 1 June 2014.

Relevant income refers to all monetary payments paid or payable by an employer to an employee, including wages, salary, leave pay, fees, commissions, bonuses, gratuities, perquisites or allowances, but excluding severance payments or long service payments under the Employment Ordinance.
