What is Additional Wage ceiling and how do I calculate it?
The Additional Wage (AW) ceiling limits the amount of AW that attract CPF contributions. The AW ceiling is applied on a per employer per calendar year basis. The Additional Wage ceiling is computed as follows:
$102,000* - Total Ordinary Wage subject to CPF contributions for the year
*Equivalent to 17 months x Ordinary Wage ceiling of $6,000

The AW ceiling formula above does not take into account the revision of Ordinary Wage ceiling of $6,300 from Sep 2023. Please refer to this FAQ on how to compute the AW ceiling for the year 2023.
