Retirement income

Receive a retirement income with CPF

CPF meets your retirement needs in two ways. You’ll receive a monthly payout and the option to make retirement withdrawals for immediate cash needs.

Monthly payouts

Receive retirement income no matter how long you live.

Withdrawals for immediate needs

Make withdrawals for immediate cash needs.

Retirement income

Monthly payouts

We cannot predict how long we'll live. Hence it’s not easy to decide how much we need for our retirement. Spend too much and you might not have enough. Save too much and you end up depriving yourself.

That's why we launched CPF LIFE. A scheme that provides you with monthly payouts no matter how long you live. With CPF LIFE, you can fully enjoy the savings you've built, with greater peace of mind.

Ageing in place and monetise remaining lease

You can sell part of your flat’s lease to HDB through the Lease Buyback Scheme, and use the proceeds to top up your CPF Retirement Account to boost your CPF monthly payouts in retirement, while continuing to live in your flat. You can also receive a cash bonus of up to $30,000.

Retirement withdrawals

Withdrawals for immediate needs

If you have an immediate need, you can withdraw up to $5,000 after 55. You can withdraw more, if you have set aside the required retirement sum in your Retirement Account.

Cash payouts for the elderly
