CPF Contribution and Allocation Rates from 1 September 2010 to 28 February 2011

 

CPF Contribution

The key changes to the CPF contribution rates are as follows:

  • Increase in employer CPF contribution rate by 0.5%. This applies to all employees except for those who are above 35 years old and earning less than $1,500 per calendar month. The 0.5% increase will go into the employee’s Medisave Account.
     
  • Less than full rates in employer CPF contributions for employees aged above 35 years and earning total wages of $1,500 or less per month. The employer contribution rate will start from 0% at the wage of $50 and gradually increase to the full rate at the wage of $1,500.
     

    Information on the CPF contribution and allocation rates for the various sectors of employees are shown in Sections A and B. The new CPF contribution rate booklets will be made available by end August 2010.
