How these were worked out
Pro-rated salary = monthly salary × days worked ÷ working days in that month.
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.
The Central Provident Fund is Singapore's mandatory savings scheme for citizens and permanent residents. Contributions are shared between employee and employer and flow into the Ordinary Account for housing, education and investment, the Special Account for retirement, and MediSave for healthcare. Because the money is locked up for specific purposes, many people underestimate how much of their total pay it represents.
Total compensation in Singapore is more than the number on your offer letter. Employer CPF, variable bonuses, the Annual Wage Supplement (often called the 13th month) and benefits all add value, and comparing offers on take-home pay alone can hide meaningful differences.
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.
Tips
- First- and second-year PRs contribute at graduated rates unless they opt in to full rates, so their figures will be lower.
- Employer CPF is not part of your take-home pay, but it is part of your total compensation, so count it when comparing offers.
- Keep a copy of your payslips: MOM requires employers to issue itemised payslips, which makes checking deductions easy.
