CPF Contribution and Allocation Rates from 1 March 2011 to 31 August 2011

The key changes to the CPF contribution rates are:

Increase in employer CPF contribution rate by 0.5% to the Special Account. This applies to all employees except for: -  employees who are above 35 years old and earning monthly wages of less than $1,500; and -  employees who are in their first or second year of obtaining the Singapore Permanent Resident (SPR) status and contributing to CPF at graduated employer and employee rates.

For employees who are above 35 years old and earning monthly wages of less than $1,500, the employer CPF contribution rates will continue to start from 0% at the wage of $50 and gradually increase to the full rate at the wage of $1,500.

The new CPF contribution amount can be computed using the CPF Contribution Calculator or determined using the CPF contribution rate booklets.
