CPFB | Building a retirement income

Michael shape your best life by starting early on your retirement plan

Build your plan starting from one of three CPF LIFE plans

Your CPF savings have been growing to prepare you for your golden years. There are 3 plans to suit different retirement needs. To better maintain your lifestyle even as the prices of items increase, consider the CPF LIFE Escalating Plan to enjoy monthly payouts that grow by 2% every year.

Start your payouts anytime from age 65 to 70

If you do not need the monthly payouts at this point in time, you have the option to defer. For every year you defer, your payouts will increase by up to 7%. Payouts will start automatically at age 70 if you have not chosen to start earlier.

Investing for different life stages

Aim to retire debt-free and have a clear idea of your lifestyle requirements to determine how much you will need to retire comfortably. If you are considering investing, review your risk tolerance as it can change over different milestones in your life.

Here's how others are making the most of their CPF

"To plan ahead, I set my retirement goals at different phases of my life. I top up my CPF account to grow my retirement savings steadily. I think it is a good habit to save part of my income for my retirement, healthcare and housing needs."

- Edward Lee, 35, Entrepreneur

"My goal is to ensure my Basic Healthcare Sum (BHS) and Full Retirement Sum (FRS) are met before 55. For any excess savings, I invest based on my risk appetite and make sure I have at least 6 months of emergency funds."

- Choo Wait Kit, 45, Civil Servant
