Frequently Asked Questions

Enter your annual gross salary into our Singapore Salary Calculator. It deducts CPF (Central Provident Fund) employee contributions and estimates your income tax to show your net take-home pay. Singapore has no separate payroll tax — CPF is the main deduction from your salary.

No. All calculators are completely free and require no registration, login, or email.

Yes. All Singapore calculators use the official IRAS (Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore) tax rates for the Year of Assessment 2026 (income earned in 2025). This includes the progressive resident tax brackets and CPF contribution rates from the CPF Board.

Singapore uses a progressive tax system for residents with rates from 0% to 24%. The first S$20,000 of chargeable income is tax-free. Rates then range from 2% up to 24% for income above S$1,000,000. Non-residents are taxed at a flat 22% (or the progressive rate, whichever is higher). Our calculator handles both resident and non-resident scenarios.

CPF (Central Provident Fund) is a mandatory savings scheme for Singapore citizens and permanent residents. Employee contribution is 20% of ordinary wages (for those aged 55 and below), while the employer contributes 17%. CPF is allocated across Ordinary Account, Special Account, and Medisave Account. Our calculator shows the full CPF breakdown.

No. CPF contributions are mandatory only for Singapore citizens and permanent residents (PRs). PRs in their first 2 years have reduced contribution rates. Foreigners/work permit holders are exempt from CPF but may have separate levy requirements for their employers.

Singapore offers various tax reliefs including: Earned Income Relief (up to S$8,000 for those under 55), CPF Relief, NSman Relief, Working Mother's Child Relief, Parent Relief, and Course Fee Relief. Our calculator factors in the standard reliefs based on your profile.

Yes. Our Bonus Tax Calculator shows how your annual bonus is taxed in Singapore. Bonuses are taxed as part of your total annual income at your marginal tax rate, not at a separate rate.

We update all Singapore calculators annually after the Singapore Budget (usually in February) and when IRAS and CPF Board confirm new rates and contribution ceilings.
