How can I top up to myself, my children or my loved ones' 3 CPF accounts?
You can make a top up via Top up your 3 CPF accounts using PayNow QR1.
 
You will be prompted to key in your Recipient's NRIC/CPF Account Number if you are making a top-up on another person’s behalf.
 
All applications and payments should reach CPF Board by the last day of the calendar year for it to be counted as the year’s CPF Annual Limit. Backdating of top-ups to previous years is not allowed.
 
Tax relief is only applicable if you are a self employed-person with assessable net trade income for the year of assessment, when you make a self top-up or receive a top-up from another person.
 
You can find out more on the different voluntary top-ups.
 
For self-employed persons, amounts allocated to your MediSave Account from these top-ups will be used to offset your MediSave payable and meet the MediSave requirement for Workfare Income Supplement (if eligible).
 
1Subsequent or duplicate payments made using the same PayNow QR code will be refunded. To ensure that your cash top-ups are processed successfully, please only scan the PayNow QR code and make payment once. You will need to submit a new application each time you wish to make another top-up.
