Reader:
May i get your advise on this matter. Am going 52, meet Full Retirement Sum (FRS) with excess. So OA, SA and MA all met limit.
I read your blog said its good to do Voluntary Contribution (VC) to CPF.
Questions:
1. If i do a VC, where or which account will the money go to since all 3 accounts had hit limit?
2. Can i withdraw the VC that i put in with interest together with my excess above the FRS at 55?
Thanks for your advise in advance.
AK:
Please remember the CPF Annual Contribution Limit (i.e. $37,740 which is 17x of CPF monthly salary ceiling of $6,000 x 37%).
How much Voluntary Contribution you can do depends on how much Mandatory Contribution (from employment) is made in a year.
Of course, if you are retired or unemployed, then, there is no mandatory contribution.
In your case, Voluntary Contributions will flow into your OA and SA. Nothing goes to your MA ...
