How these were worked out
Monthly = annual ÷ 12; weekly = annual ÷ 52; hourly = annual ÷ (52 × 44).
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.
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.
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 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.
Tips
- Use your basic salary plus fixed allowances as the ordinary wage; bonuses are additional wages with their own ceiling.
- Overtime eligibility depends on your salary and role under Part IV of the Employment Act, not just your job title.
- Keep a copy of your payslips: MOM requires employers to issue itemised payslips, which makes checking deductions easy.
