Voluntary CPF Contributions
 

  Limit on Voluntary CPF Contributions
   
  The maximum amount of voluntary contributions for a person (employee or self-employed) in one calendar year is subject to the CPF Annual Limit. All CPF contributions, whether mandatory or voluntary, will form part of the CPF Annual Limit.

 

The CPF Annual Limit from 2007 onwards are as follows:

 

 Year  CPF Annual Limit
 2007  $26,393
 2008  $26,393
 2009  $26,393
 2010  $26,775
 2011  $30,600
 2012  $30,600
 
 

The maximum amount of voluntary contributions (VC) that can be made for the calendar year is as follows:

  Maximum amount of VC = $30,600 – Mandatory Contributions
 
  No further voluntary contributions can be made if the mandatory and voluntary contributions have already reached the prevailing CPF Annual Limit of $30,600.

 

Note:

1) Mandatory contributions by the employer and employee are compulsory contributions required under the CPF Act. These include CPF contributions on the Ordinary and Additional Wages for employees, and Medisave contributions by the self-employed persons.
   
2) CPF Board must receive the voluntary contributions by the last working day of the year in order for the year’s CPF Annual Limit to be applied to the contributions. Backdating of voluntary contributions to previous years is not allowed.
   
3) Any voluntary contributions made in excess of the limit will be refunded without interest.
   
4) Members who wish to save more for their retirement can participate in the Supplementary Retirement Scheme (SRS). For more information on SRS, please click here.
