Estimate monthly employee and employer CPF contributions by age band. Applies to Singapore Citizens and Permanent Residents (3rd year onwards).
The Central Provident Fund (CPF) is Singapore's mandatory social security savings scheme. Both you and your employer contribute a percentage of your wages each month. For employees aged 55 and below, the total rate is 37% — 20% from the employee and 17% from the employer — on Ordinary Wages up to the S$8,000 monthly ceiling.
Contribution rates step down with age: 34% for above 55–60, 25% for above 60–65, 16.5% for above 65–70, and 12.5% above 70. Contributions are split across your Ordinary, Special/Retirement and MediSave accounts. From 2026 the rates for those above 55 to 65 rose to strengthen retirement savings.
