Since 1 September 2025, the S Pass levy rate has been harmonised to $650 across all sectors and levy tiers.

The daily levy rate is $21.37 for S Pass holders who did not work for a full calendar month. It is calculated as follows: (Monthly levy rate x 12) / 365 = rounding up to the nearest cent.

Under the existing quota, the number of S Pass holders your company can hire is capped at:

  • 10% of the company’s total workforce in the services sector.

  • 15% in the construction, manufacturing, marine shipyard and process sectors.

To ensure accurate FWL calculation in Talenox, you'll need to do the following important steps:

Company Details

Step 1: Choose the exact sector for the company

------

Employee Profile

Step 2: When you set the Immigration Status (S Pass / Work Permit) in the employee profile, you can update the field(s) under Statutory Details section for FWL.

You can refer to this link for more info on FWL: https://www.mom.gov.sg/passes-and-permits/work-permit-for-foreign-worker/foreign-worker-levy/what-is-the-foreign-worker-levy. Scroll down the page until you see Levy Rate and Quota to find out about the levy requirement for the sector you are in.

To verify FWL calculation, you can double-check the FWL amount by using our FWL calculator.

For FWL payment, once MOM sends the letter to you, you can pay online through https://www.mom.gov.sg/eservices/services/check-and-pay-levy. There isn't any automation for payment via Talenox as MOM has not opened up this portion for integration yet. 

Alternatively, you can apply for GIRO for FWL payment for a more convenient payment in the future: https://www.mom.gov.sg/~/media/mom/documents/services-forms/passes/giro_appln_form.pdf.  😀
