Your OA earns 2.5% interest per year, while your SA earns 4%. You can top up your SA voluntarily (up to SGD 8,000/year for tax relief) to grow your retirement nest egg faster.

Data Sources

How the CPF Calculator Works

The CPF (Central Provident Fund) calculator computes monthly contributions for employees and employers based on gross monthly wage, age, and citizen/PR status. For Singapore Citizens and Permanent Residents, both employee and employer must contribute. Employer contributions are paid on top of salary and do not reduce take-home pay. Employee contributions are deducted from gross salary.

CPF Allocation Across Accounts

CPF contributions are split across three accounts: Ordinary Account (OA), Special Account (SA), and MediShield Life/Medisave (MA). The allocation ratio changes as you age - younger members contribute more to OA for housing, while older members allocate more to MA for healthcare. At age 55, a Retirement Account (RA) is created from OA and SA savings up to the Full Retirement Sum.

Example

A 30-year-old Singapore Citizen earning $5,000 gross monthly salary contributes 20% ($1,000) from their salary. Their employer contributes 17% ($850) on top. Total monthly CPF: $1,850. Of the employee's $1,000: $621 goes to OA, $150 to SA, and $229 to MA. CPF applies only to the first $6,000 of monthly wages (Ordinary Wage ceiling).
