Central Provident Fund (CPF)

The CPF is a key pillar of Singapore's social security system, involving contributions from both employers and employees.

1. Retirement Fund

  • A portion of CPF contributions goes towards the Retirement Fund, which is designed to provide financial security for individuals upon retirement.

2. MediSave

  • MediSave accounts are part of the CPF, specifically earmarked for covering medical expenses and health insurance premiums.

3. Ordinary Account

  • Contributions to the Ordinary Account can be used for various purposes, including housing, insurance, investment, and education.

4. Special Account

  • This account is primarily for old age and investment in retirement-related financial products.

Skills Development Levy (SDL)

  • Employers contribute to the SDL, which is used to fund workforce training programs and skills upgrading initiatives.
  • This levy aims to encourage continual learning and skill development among the workforce.

Foreign Worker Levy (FWL)

  • Employers who hire foreign workers are required to pay the FWL, a pricing mechanism to regulate the number of foreign workers in Singapore.

Work Injury Compensation

  • Employers are responsible for insuring their employees against work-related injuries and illnesses under the Work Injury Compensation Act.
  • This ensures that employees who are injured or fall ill due to work receive compensation for medical expenses and lost wages.

These contributions are fundamental in ensuring the well-being and security of Singapore's workforce. They cater to various aspects of social security, from healthcare and retirement savings to workforce skills development and protection against work-related risks. Employers and employees are advised to be aware of their respective responsibilities and the benefits these contributions provide.
