Employee CPF Relief: Ordinary and Additional Wage Ceilings

Citizen and PR employees can receive relief for qualifying compulsory contributions, limited by the applicable wage ceilings.

Source checked · 11 October 2026

Contribution and wage limits

Relief follows compulsory employee CPF on ordinary and additional wages or qualifying approved funds. Excess voluntary contributions, specified excess additional wages from related employers and overseas-employment contributions do not qualify. The monthly ordinary-wage ceiling is S$7,400 for 2025 and S$8,000 from 1 January 2026; the annual salary ceiling remains S$102,000. Additional-wage ceiling is S$102,000 less ordinary wages already subject to CPF. Use the payment year’s rate and ceiling.

MediSave and reporting routes

From 1 January 2022, qualifying voluntary own-MediSave payments follow CPF Cash Top-up Relief rather than the older annual-limit example. AIS employers supply CPF information and relief is automatic; non-AIS employees complete the appropriate employment and CPF fields. Verify incorrect data with the employer and use the applicable amendment process. All personal reliefs remain subject to the S$80,000 overall cap.
