How these were worked out
Pro-rated leave = (completed months ÷ 12) × full-year entitlement.
In Singapore, payslip maths decides how much you can save, invest and spend, and CPF takes a sizeable share before the money reaches your bank account. Knowing the numbers in advance makes salary negotiations, job switches and budgeting far less of a guess.
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.
Payslips must be itemised, showing basic pay, allowances, overtime, deductions and CPF. Comparing a payslip against an independent calculation is the easiest way to catch mistakes, especially in the first month of a new job, after a pay rise, or when you cross an age band.
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.
Tips
- CPF rates drop in steps after age 55, so check which age band applies from the month after your birthday.
- Overtime eligibility depends on your salary and role under Part IV of the Employment Act, not just your job title.
- Employer CPF is not part of your take-home pay, but it is part of your total compensation, so count it when comparing offers.
