CPF Savings In 2025. Top Up to MA.

Wednesday, January 1, 2025

If you are part of my YouTube community, you might have seen the photos I shared on my latest CPF numbers.

Here they are for those who are not in the know,



I was fortunate that I was able to take advantage of higher yielding T-bills to grow my CPF savings at a faster clip in the last couple of years.

However, with the difference being very little in recent months, I have decided to simply leave the CPF OA money untouched for the time being.

I have just done a $4,000 Top Up to my CPF MA to hit the prevailing BHS in 2025.

Decided to do it now as January is going to be a busy month and I fear I might forget to do it later on.




Updated:



This Top Up will make 4% per annum risk free and will generate more interest income to pay for my medical insurance.

Of course, if we are still gainfully employed, doing this would also allow us to enjoy income tax relief.

We are fortunate to have the CPF system in Singapore.

We should take full advantage of our membership.

If AK can do it, so can you!

Hihi AK, I also topped up whatever I can for my own CPF which is just the MA. I also did 8k cash top-up for my parent's CPF RA to max out the tax reliefs. FYI, CPF has removed the age cap of 70 on the MRSS, and increased the annual matching grant to $2,000. So hit two birds with 1 stone. :)

Hi Yv,
That is good news for those who can benefit from MRSS. We are so lucky to have one of the best government regulated retirement funding systems in the world. 💯
