Question
How much is CPF employer contribution in Singapore?
Answer
For Singapore citizens and third-year-and-beyond PRs aged 55 and below, the employer CPF contribution rate is 17% of the employee's monthly wages — giving a combined employer-employee rate of 37%. Rates decrease as employees pass the age thresholds at 55, 60, 65, and 70. Contributions are only calculated on wages up to the Ordinary Wage ceiling of S$8,000 per month (from 1 January 2026). For a full rate table broken down by age bracket, see the CPF Board employer rates page.
