Personalised insights from CPF YSOA

How much you can CPF top-up and transfer you can make

In the first tab, you can find out more about your current CPF balances, which can be interesting for you to know your CPF balance across different CPF accounts. The key takeaway is found in the link out, showing how much you can top-up into CPF. Given that CPF top-ups reached record highs in 2021, it would be prudent to find out how you can use CPF effectively in 2022.

How to get to find out more about CPF top-ups

You can find out how much you can top-up to CPF across different loved-ones’ accounts (such as siblings, parents, grandparents and in-laws), and also for yourself. These top-up limits take into account your Basic Healthcare Sum limits and Full Retirement Sum limits. The information is supplemented with links to various CPF FAQs and also an update on the latest CPF changes.

Through these FAQs, you can easily understand how you can get higher interest and tax relief with CPF top-ups.

How Much CPF Withdrawals And Deposits You Have Made In 2021

Any CPF inflows or outflows in 2021 are helpfully summarised in the YSOA into categories such as housing, retirement, healthcare and others. Within each category, there are further breakdowns.

CPF contributions are mainly from your mandatory contributions as an employee, personal voluntary top-ups, or mandatory contributions from employers as part of your compensation. Any interest or grants from the government also form part of your CPF contributions. As you grow older, mandatory CPF contributions from employment are reduced, and you potentially will get more interest from the government as your CPF balance increases.
