The CPF system is designed to cater to the basic retirement needs of the broad majority of Singaporeans.
If you are below 55, you can top up your Special Account up to the current year’s Full Retirement Sum (FRS) to build up your retirement savings. If you wish to save beyond the FRS, you can choose to tap on the
Supplementary Retirement Scheme, where contributions are also eligible for tax relief.
If you are 55 or above, retirement becomes a higher priority. As such, members have the option to voluntarily top up beyond the FRS up to the
current year’s Enhanced Retirement Sum (ERS) for higher payouts. This could help the middle-income group better meet their retirement needs.
