How much CPF savings can I transfer to myself or my loved ones?

You can easily check the maximum amount of CPF savings you can transfer in your Retirement Dashboard.

If you would like to learn more how the amount shown on your Retirement Dashboard is computed, please refer to the tables below.

Do note that the actual amount of CPF savings you can transfer may also depend on your recipient's available top-up limit.

Parents and/or grandparents

If you own a property3, you can transfer your OA savings after setting aside the current BRS1, provided you can meet the current Full Retirement Sum (FRS) with your OA savings, SA savings, the net amount withdrawn for investments2 and property3.

 

If you do not own a property3, you can transfer your OA savings after setting aside the current FRS1.

3 Refers to the CPF savings used for property, including accrued interest (P+I). If you have set aside the BRS and own a property bought using CPF savings, the P+I can be considered towards meeting the FRS for making CPF transfers to your parents and/or grandparents. The property you own must have remaining lease that can last you to at least 95 years old.

* Your SA savings will be transferred first, followed by your OA savings.

 

1 Your OA savings will be transferred first, followed by your SA and then your RA savings3, if applicable. You can write to CPF Board to specify the CPF accounts from which to transfer to your spouse, parents and/or grandparents. Please note that if you use your RA savings3 for the transfer, the sum of your RA savings3 and property4 may be less than your FRS. As a result, when you make a withdrawal from your OA and SA, a portion of the savings will be used to meet your FRS in the RA.

 

2 Can be set aside using your OA savings, SA savings, RA savings3, and net amount withdrawn for investments5.

 

3 Refer to the cash set aside in the RA (excluding amounts such as interest earned, any government grants received), plus retirement withdrawals.

 

4 Refers to the CPF savings used for property, including accrued interest (P+I). If you have set aside the BRS and own a property bought using CPF savings, the P+I can be considered towards meeting the FRS for making CPF transfers to your parents and/or grandparents. The property you own must have remaining lease that can last you to at least 95 years old. If you have pledged your property for purposes of setting aside part of your retirement sum or to withdraw your retirement savings, the amount secured by the property can be considered towards meeting the FRS for this CPF transfer.

 

5 Refers to amounts withdrawn for (i) an active investment account under the CPF Investment Scheme (CPFIS)-OA, and (ii) investments under the CPFIS-SA and discounted Singtel shares that have not been completely disposed of.
