Note: Figures in brackets () denote increase in rates
a) With the closure of Special Account, the increase in the CPF contributions for employees aged above 55 to 65 will be fully allocated to the Retirement Account (RA), up to the Full Retirement Sum (FRS), to help senior workers save more for retirement. If employees have set aside the FRS in their RA, these contributions will be channelled to their Ordinary Account.
b) For those earning monthly wages of more than $500 to $750, the employee contribution rates continue to be phased in.
c) There are no changes to the graduated contribution rates for first and second year Singapore Permanent Residents.
