Caixin: Starting April 2026, Shenzhen employees whose housing provident fund contribution rate set by their employer is below the national maximum (12%) can voluntarily choose their personal contribution rate within the range between their employer’s contribution rate and the national maximum.

This adjustment was made to the revised “Shenzhen Housing Provident Fund Management Measures” (hereinafter referred to as the “Measures”) announced externally on March 16.

Article 18 of the Measures states that the contribution rate for employers to employees’ housing provident fund should be within the national prescribed upper and lower limits. A single employer can only select one contribution rate. The employee’s personal contribution rate generally matches the employer’s contribution rate. Employees may voluntarily increase their contribution rate above the employer’s rate, but not exceed the national maximum limit.
