Specific CPF contribution rates will apply to the different age groups below:

  • 55 years and below

  • Above 55 to 60 years

  • Above 60 to 65 years

  • Above 65 to 70 years

  • Above 70 years

For the purpose of CPF contribution, your employee is considered to be “55 years”, “60 years” or “65 years” in the month of his 55th, 60th or 65th birthday.

He is considered to be “Above 55”, “Above 60” or “Above 65” from the month after his 55th, 60th or 65th birthday, respectively.

As an example, assuming that your employee's 55th birthday falls on 7 July 2024:

  1. For wages earned in July 2024 (55 years and below):

    Total CPF contribution: 37% of total wages (≥$750)

    CPF Employer = 17%

    CPF Employee = 20%

  2. For wages earned in August 2024 (above 55 to 60 years):

    Total CPF contribution: 31% of total wages (≥$750)

    CPF Employer = 15%

    CPF Employee = 16%
