As a recap, the CPF monthly salary ceiling was increased to S$6,300 on 1 September 2023 from S$6,000 previously.
This means that if your salary is above S$6,300 per month, you will not be required to make CPF contributions on the portion of your monthly salary above S$6,300.
This ceiling is now set to be raised further in various stages from 1 January 2024 to 2026.
From 1 January 2024, the CPF monthly salary ceiling will be raised from S$6,300 to S$6,800.
The CPF monthly salary ceiling will then be progressively increased to S$8,000 in 2026....
