For loved ones

Topping up your loved ones’ retirement savings

Boost your loved ones’ retirement savings by topping up to the current Full Retirement Sum (FRS) if they are below 55 or Enhanced Retirement Sum (ERS) if they are 55 or above.

View current ERS and FRS

Topping up with cash

Grow your loved ones’ CPF savings with cash

You can make a cash top-up of any amount to your loved ones. By doing so, you will also benefit from tax relief of up to $8,000 for cash top-ups made to your loved ones in each calendar year.

 

Under the Matched Retirement Savings Scheme (MRSS), the Government will match every dollar of cash top-ups made to the Retirement Account of eligible members, up to $600 per year.

Matched Retirement Savings Scheme

Topping up with CPF transfer

Transferring CPF savings to your spouse

Before making a transfer to your spouse, you’ll first have to set aside a basic level of retirement savings for your own monthly payouts, that is, the current Basic Retirement Sum (BRS).

Transferring to your parents and grandparents

If you would like to make a transfer to your parents or grandparents, you’ll first have to set aside the FRS for your own monthly payouts. For property owners (with a Singapore property which has a remaining lease which can last you to at least age 95), you can transfer an amount down to the BRS.

Transferring to your parents-in-law, grandparents-in-law and siblings

If you would like to make a transfer to your parents-in-law, grandparents-in-law or siblings, you’ll have to set aside the FRS for your own monthly payouts.

Topping up the CPF savings of your employees or other CPF members

1
Grow your employee’s savings

When you make a cash top-up on your employee’s behalf to his Special/Retirement Account, you will enjoy an equivalent amount of tax deductions. While such a cash top-up will be included in your employee’s taxable income, your employee will receive tax relief of up to $8,000 for such cash top-ups made in each calendar year.

 

The tax relief that your employee will receive takes into consideration any cash top-ups that he has made to his Special/Retirement Account, up to the current FRS, and MediSave Account. To make a cash top-up to your employee, please submit a request.

2
Topping up for other CPF members

Help grow the savings of people you care about in cash, even if they are not a family member or employee, so they can enjoy higher payouts during retirement. 

 

Note that such top-ups are not eligible for tax relief.

Ways to top up

You can make top ups by using the CPF Mobile app, via my cpf Online Services, or GIRO. You can top up easily simply by logging in with your Singpass.

1
Make regular top-ups with GIRO

You don’t need to top up a large sum in a single go. Use GIRO to make small top-ups, regularly.
