Additional Interest of 1%

As part of the government’s efforts to enhance the retirement savings of CPF members, an additional 1% per annum will continue to be paid on the first $60,000 of a member’s combined balances, with up to $20,000 from the OA.

This works out to be 3.5% per annum earned on the first $20,000 in a member’s OA, and 5% per annum earned on the first $40,000 (up to $60,000 if no OA savings) in a member’s SMA and Retirement Account (RA).

The additional interest received on the OA will go into the member’s Special Account (SA) or RA to enhance his retirement savings. If a member is above 55 years old and participates in the CPF LIFE scheme, the additional 1% per annum interest will still be earned on his combined balances, which includes the savings used for CPF LIFE.
