Understanding CPF Contributions in Singapore

The Central Provident Fund (CPF) is Singapore's comprehensive social security savings plan. Both employers and employees must contribute to CPF, with rates varying by age and wage levels.

CPF Contribution Rates by Age (2025)

Age Group Total Rate Employer Employee
55 and below 37% 17% 20%
55-60 26% 13% 13%
60-65 16.5% 9% 7.5%
65 and above 12.5% 7.5% 5%

Note: CPF contributions are calculated on Ordinary Wages (up to SGD 6,000/month) and Additional Wages (bonuses, commissions). Our system automatically calculates these based on employee age and wage structure.
