Understanding Singapore Income Tax 2025
Singapore uses a progressive tax system with income taxed at different rates depending on your income level and residency status. The Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore (IRAS) administers the tax system. Singapore's tax system is known for being efficient and business-friendly, with no capital gains tax, wealth tax, or estate duties.

• 2% on S$20,001 to S$30,000
• 3.5% on S$30,001 to S$40,000
• 7% on S$40,001 to S$80,000
• 11.5% on S$80,001 to S$120,000
• 15% on S$120,001 to S$160,000
• 18% on S$160,001 to S$200,000

Non-Resident Tax Rates
Non-residents in Singapore are taxed at higher flat rates on different types of income. Employment income for non-residents is taxed at a flat rate of 15% on the first S$22,000, then progressive rates apply above that threshold.
CPF (Central Provident Fund) 2025
CPF is a mandatory savings scheme for retirement, housing, healthcare, and insurance. Both employees and employers contribute monthly, with rates varying by age. From January 2025, the rates are:
Employee: 20% | Employer: 17% | Total: 37%
Age 55-60:
Employee: 17% | Employer: 15.5% | Total: 32.5%
Age 60-65:
Employee: 11.5% | Employer: 12% | Total: 23.5%
Age 65-70:
Employee: 7.5% | Employer: 9% | Total: 16.5%
Age 70+:
Employee: 5% | Employer: 7.5% | Total: 12.5%
CPF Monthly Salary Ceiling: S$7,400
Formula: \( \text{CPF Employee} = \min(\text{Monthly Salary}, 7,400) \times \text{Employee Rate} \)
Tax Rebate for 2025
Singapore residents for YA 2025 will receive a tax rebate of 60% of their tax payable, capped at S$200. This effectively reduces your tax liability by up to S$200.
Example: If your calculated tax is S$400
Rebate = 60% × S$400 = S$240, but capped at S$200
Tax payable after rebate = S$400 - S$200 = S$200
Formula: \( \text{Tax After Rebate} = \text{Tax Payable} - \min(\text{Tax Payable} \times 0.60, 200) \)
CPF Relief
CPF contributions are eligible for tax relief. Employee CPF contributions reduce your chargeable income, providing significant tax savings. Additionally, voluntary contributions to your CPF account or your spouse's CPF account can provide additional tax relief.
Take-Home Pay Calculation Method
Your net income or take-home pay is calculated by subtracting all deductions from your gross salary:
Where:
• Gross Salary = Your total annual income
• Income Tax = Tax based on progressive brackets on chargeable income
• Chargeable Income = Gross Income - CPF Relief - Other Reliefs
• Employee CPF = Age-based percentage (capped at S$7,400 monthly salary)
• Tax Rebate = 60% of tax (max S$200)
Effective Tax Rate
Your effective tax rate is your total income tax paid divided by your gross income. This is typically lower than your marginal tax rate (the rate applied to your last dollar of income) due to the progressive nature of Singapore's tax system:
\( \text{Effective Tax + CPF Rate} = \frac{\text{Total Tax + CPF}}{\text{Gross Income}} \times 100\% \)
