On average, households in Singapore spend $4,906 per month on goods and services1. Inflation on the cost of food has increased at an inflation rate of 2.9% from 2010 to 2019.2
CPF Life is currently estimated to pay out between S$730 to S$2,000 per month, starting from age 65, depending on how much you have in your CPF when you retire. These payments can help supplement your income, but may not be enough to support the lifestyle that you want.

In Singapore, the CPF LIFE is an annuity scheme that provides Singaporeans with a monthly payout for life, starting from the age of 65 or a deferred payout age. Participants can choose from various plans, such as the Standard Plan or the Basic Plan, depending on their preferences and desired payout amounts. Whilst this plan provides attractive lifetime payments, the maximum CPF savings that you can use for CPF LIFE is the prevailing Enhanced Retirement Sum (ERS), plus any accumulated interest in your Retirement Account. The current ERS is $298,200.
This means that any addition retirement funding will have to be done through private financial instruments such as Retirement Insurance Plans. Retirement Insurance Plans also give you the option of adding on critical illness riders which are important as you age.
1. Can the Cash Dividends be accumulated with the company to accumulate interest?
Yes, for some products, you may choose to accumulate the cash dividends with the insurer. Please check with us on the prevailing accumulation rate.
2. Can the policy owner request to change the Monthly Cash Benefit from a paid-out option to accumulated option and vice versa after the policy is incepted?
Yes, the policy owner may request to change the paid-out option to accumulated option anytime during the payout period and vice versa.
3. Can the accumulated Monthly Cash Benefit be withdrawn at any time?
Yes. Partial or full withdrawal of the accumulated Monthly Cash Benefit is allowed at anytime during the policy term.
4. Does the policy owner need to provide proof of survivorship on the life insured to receive the Monthly Cash Benefit?
The insurer reserves the right from time-to-time to request for satisfactory proof that the life insured is alive before paying the Monthly Cash Benefit.
5. What happens if the insurer is not notified immediately of the life insured’s death and continues to pay out the Monthly Cash Benefit?
Any Monthly Cash Benefit paid on or after the date of the life insured’s death will be deducted from the death benefit proceeds
