This is how companies here play their part in building a safety net for Singapore workers in their old age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Employers also shoulder the responsibility to pay both the employer&#8217;s CPF contribution and the employee&#8217;s CPF contribution. They are supposed to recover the employee\u2019s share of CPF contributions from the month\u2019s wages before paying it out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From 1 January 2025, employers may have to make more CPF contributions for their employees as the monthly salary ceiling rises to $7,400 per month (from $6,800 per month in 2024). This monthly salary ceiling is also slated to rise to $8,000 in 2026. There is no change to the Annual CPF Limit though &#8211; which remains at $37,740.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the past few years, employers have been burdened with incrementally higher CPF contributions for their older employees as well.

Both the employer&#8217;s CPF contributions and the employee&#8217;s CPF contributions reduce with age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With lower employer&#8217;s CPF contributions, older employees are less costly for employers, making them more competitive in the jobs market. At the same time, lower employee&#8217;s CPF contributions also allow older employees to take home more of their salary in cash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, with the government mandating higher CPF contributions for older workers, this will be an added cost to employers. The government has also made known its plans to further increase CPF contributions for older workers Above 55 to 60 (to a total of 37%) and Above 60 to 65 (to a total of 26%) by around 2030.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>For employees earning less than $750:<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td>Employee\u2019s Age<\/td><td>Monthly Wages<\/td><td><strong>Employer\u2019s CPF Contribution (% Of Wage)<\/strong><\/td><td>Employee\u2019s CPF Contribution<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>55 and below<\/td><td>&gt;$50 to &gt;$500<\/td><td>17%<\/td><td>Nil<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>&nbsp;<\/td><td>&gt;$500 to &gt;$750<\/td><td>17%<\/td><td>0.6 x (Total Wage \u2013 $500)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Above 55 to 60<\/td><td>&gt;$50 to &gt;$500<\/td><td>14.5%<\/td><td>Nil<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>&nbsp;<\/td><td>&gt;$500 to &gt;$750<\/td><td>14.5% <\/td><td>0.45 x (Total Wage \u2013 $500)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Above 60 to 65<\/td><td>&gt;$50 to &gt;$500<\/td><td> 11%<\/td><td>Nil<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>&nbsp;<\/td><td>&gt;$500 to &gt;$750<\/td><td>11% <\/td><td>0.285 x (Total Wage \u2013 $500)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Above 65 to 70<\/td><td>&gt;$50 to &gt;$500<\/td><td>8.5%<\/td><td>Nil<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>&nbsp;<\/td><td>&gt;$500 to &gt;$750<\/td><td>8.5%<\/td><td>0.21 x (Total Wage \u2013 $500)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Above 70<\/td><td>&gt;$50 to &gt;$500<\/td><td> 7.5%<\/td><td>Nil<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>&nbsp;<\/td><td>&gt;$500 to &gt;$750<\/td><td> 7.5% <\/td><td>0.15 x (Total Wage \u2013 $500)<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The employer&#8217;s CPF contribution remains the same regardless of how much an employee earns. The employee CPF contributions differ though, with those who earn under $500 paying nothing, while those who earn more than $500 to under $750 contributing a smaller portion. This is to help low-wage workers get higher take-home pay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Besides CPF contributions on monthly Ordinary Wages (OW), employers also have to pay CPF contributions on an employee\u2019s Additional Wage (AW).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"cpf-contributions-for-additional-wages-aw-in-the-year\"><strong>CPF Contributions For Additional Wages (AW) In The Year<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Employers cannot apply the Ordinary Wage (OW) ceiling on Additional Wages (AW) in the months that it is paid out &#8211; even if they bring the total salary payment to over $7,400 during the month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additional Wages include payments such as annual bonuses, quarterly or annual commission, or leave pay, that are not paid based on an employee\u2019s performance in a specific month. Employees are entitled to the employer&#8217;s CPF contributions and have to make their respective employee&#8217;s CPF contributions on their entire Additional Wages, subject to a cap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The cap on Additional Wages is ($102,000 \u2013 Ordinary Wages subject to CPF contributions for the year).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s take the example of a 40-year-old employee who earns $9,000 a month (Ordinary Wage) and receives one-month bonus of $9,000 at the end of the year (Additional Wage). While his Ordinary Wage is $108,000 a year, only $88,800 ($7,400 X 12) will be\u00a0subject to the monthly employer&#8217;s CPF contributions and employee&#8217;s CPF contributions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Using the formula above, he has an AW cap of $13,200 ($102,000 &#8211; $88,800). This means that his entire $9,000 bonus will be subject to Employer&#8217;s CPF contributions and Employee&#8217;s CPF Contributions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If he receives a two-month bonus of $18,000, only $13,200 out of the payment will be subject to CPF contributions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Read Also: <a href=\"https:\/\/dollarsandsense.sg\/business\/ordinary-wage-ow-vs-additional-wage-aw-employers-employees\/\">Ordinary Wage (OW) VS Additional Wage (AW): What\u2019s The Difference (And Why It Matters To Employers And Employees)<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"cpf-contributions-for-permanent-residents-prs\"><strong>CPF Contributions For Permanent Residents (PRs)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>CPF contributions for employees who are PRs are the same as for Singaporeans.
