How Singapore taxes a salary

  1. Earned Income Relief Automatic for active earners under 55. Rises to 6,000 SGD at 55 to 59 and 8,000 SGD at 60 and over, neither of which is modelled here.
  2. Income Tax Thirteen brackets, unchanged from YA2025. Verified against the published cumulative tax at each band top: 200 at 30,000, 550 at 40,000, 3,350 at 80,000, rising to 199,150 at 1,000,000. Note the year convention: YA2026 assesses income earned between 1 January and 31 December 2025.
  3. Central Provident Fund (CPF) Employment Pass holders and other foreigners who are not permanent residents do not contribute to CPF at all, which is the case modelled here. Singapore Citizens and Permanent Residents aged 55 and below contribute around 20% of wages, subject to an Ordinary Wage ceiling, and would see materially lower take-home. CPF is also different in kind from most social contributions on this site: it is a personal savings balance the member owns, closer to Australian superannuation than to a pension entitlement.
