What is the contribution rate of CPF (Central Provident Fund)?

CPF contribution rates depend on two essential factors. These factors are the age group and wage band. Contribution rates also depend on the residential status of a person.

Type of employment also plays a crucial role in determining the CPF contribution rates of a person. There are two tables below to help you understand the CPF contribution rates for employees and employers.

Table 1 demonstrates contribution rates for people who are either private-sector employees or are non-pensionable employees in the public sector.

Table 2 demonstrates contribution rates for people who are public sector pensionable employees.

These contribution rates are applied to Singapore Citizens or Singapore Permanent Residents who are in the third year after gaining this status. These rates are also applied to Singapore Permanent Residents who are in the first two years after acquiring the status but have applied with their employers to contribute at full employer-full employee rates.

These rates are based on monthly wages that are more than or equal to $750, which is considered as the average pay.
