Figures are illustrative and based on the following assumptions: Mei started working at 22 on a salary of $3,800 per month (MOM median gross starting salary for fresh graduates), with annual wage growth of 3.5%. She purchased her 4-room BTO with her husband at 32 at a cost of $400,000. Balances and interest reflect OA and SA only and exclude MediSave. Actual balances will vary based on individual salary history and CPF usage.


Turns out, good fortune compounds. Add a small monthly top-up to your SA and watch what it builds over ten years, at a guaranteed 4% per year. No lump sum required.

All figures are illustrative and approximate, based on a CPF Special Account interest rate of 4% per year, compounded monthly. Actual returns may be higher as these figures do not account for the additional 1% interest on the first $60,000 of combined CPF balances.
