Salary calculator Singapore (YA 2027)

Figures for a Singapore Citizen (or a PR from the third year) under 55, paid the salary in 12 equal months with no bonus, with earned income relief and CPF relief only, for 2026 income (YA 2027).

Amounts are rounded to whole units; type any salary into the calculator above for the exact figure and your own options.

Singapore Citizens and Permanent Residents pay into the Central Provident Fund every month. Up to age 55 you contribute 20% of your wages and your employer adds 17%, 37% in total; the rates fall after 55. CPF is only charged on ordinary wages up to $8,000 a month, so the most you pay on a regular salary is $1,600 a month.

Bonuses are additional wages: CPF applies to them only up to the $102,000 annual salary ceiling minus the ordinary wages that already had CPF. Your CPF money goes into your own CPF accounts, which is why the calculator shows it as savings rather than tax.

Income tax is not deducted from your salary each month. IRAS assesses the whole year after it ends: you are taxed in YA 2027 on what you earned in 2026, and you pay the bill in one go or by monthly GIRO instalments. Tax residents pay progressive rates on chargeable income, which is income minus reliefs.

Every employee gets earned income relief ($1,000 below 55, $6,000 from 55, $8,000 from 60), and citizens and PRs get CPF relief equal to the compulsory CPF they paid. All reliefs together are capped at $80,000 a year.

• Foreigners working in Singapore do not pay CPF. They are taxed at resident rates if they are in Singapore for 183 days or more in the year; non-resident rates are not covered by this calculator.
• The first $20,000 of chargeable income is tax-free, and the top rate of 24% applies above $1,000,000.

These rates have applied since YA 2024. Chargeable income is your income minus reliefs such as earned income relief and CPF relief.

For monthly wages of $750 or more. CPF is charged on ordinary wages up to $8,000 a month, and on bonuses up to the $102,000 annual salary ceiling. Wages of $500 or less carry no employee share, and it is phased in between $500 and $750. PRs pay lower graduated rates in their first two years.

CPF relief equals the compulsory CPF you pay as an employee. All personal reliefs together are capped at $80,000 a year.
