How are CPF interest rates determined?

Savings in the Ordinary Account earn the 3-month average of major local banks’ interest rates, subject to the legislated minimum interest of 2.5% per annum. This is reviewed quarterly.

Savings in the Special and MediSave accounts earn the 12-month average yield of 10-year Singapore Government Securities (10YSGS) plus 1%, subject to the current floor interest rate of 4% per annum. This is reviewed quarterly.

Savings in the Retirement Account earn the weighted average interest rate of the entire invested portfolio. New savings credited to RA each year earn the 12-month average yield of 10YSGS plus 1% computed for the year, subject to the current floor interest rate of 4% per annum. This is reviewed annually.

Please refer to the CPF interest rates and MOF website for more information.
