Your steadiest asset can do more than you think

Your CPF savings could be your most dependable asset, and it can work even harder. Transferring funds from your Ordinary Account (OA) to Special Account (SA) can add up over time, as this comparison shows.

Figures are based on the current floor interest rate of 2.5% and 4% per annum on Ordinary Account (OA) and Special Account (SA) respectively. Actual amount of CPF savings you can transfer depends on your top-up limit. Actual balances will vary based on individual CPF usage.

Figures are illustrative and based on the prevailing CPF floor interest rates of 2.5% per annum for the OA and 4% per annum for the SA, compounded monthly. Actual returns will vary if CPF interest rates change, and investment returns through CPFIS are not guaranteed. Individual outcomes will vary based on CPF usage and financial decisions.
