Tips
- Remember the S$8,000 monthly Ordinary Wage ceiling from January 2026: salary above it does not attract CPF.
- Use your basic salary plus fixed allowances as the ordinary wage; bonuses are additional wages with their own ceiling.
- Employer CPF is not part of your take-home pay, but it is part of your total compensation, so count it when comparing offers.
Background
CPF distinguishes between ordinary wages, which are paid for work in the month such as basic salary and fixed allowances, and additional wages, such as annual bonuses and leave encashment. Ordinary wages are capped at S$8,000 a month from January 2026, while additional wages are capped by an annual ceiling of S$102,000 minus the ordinary wages already subject to CPF in the year.
Contribution rates fall as workers get older, to keep older workers employable while their retirement savings continue to grow. The Government has been raising rates for workers above 55 in stages since 2022, with the latest change in January 2026 and another planned for 2027, so figures for senior workers change more often than for younger employees.
The Employment Act sets out how hourly and daily rates are calculated for overtime, public holiday work and salary deductions. These formulas use the monthly basic rate of pay rather than gross salary, which is why the numbers can look lower than a simple division of your salary by hours worked.
