If you retire earlier, live longer, or spend more in some years, you may need more. For illustration only. Future results are not guaranteed.

FAQs

How do I plan for retirement in Singapore?

Retirement planning in Singapore centres on three pots: your CPF (Ordinary, Special, and Retirement Accounts), SRS if you have one, and any personal savings or investments. 

‍

The key steps are estimating how much you'll need, knowing when each pot becomes accessible (CPF withdrawals from 55, CPF LIFE payouts from 65), and deciding how to grow what's sitting idle in the meantime. 

‍

You may use the Endowus retirement calculator for a personalised number, or explore our CPF and SRS guides for the full mechanics.

‍

Endowus offers free 1-on-1 consultation with our MAS-licensed client advisors if you need guidance on retirement planning.

‍

How much do I need to retire in Singapore?

There's no fixed number and it depends entirely on your lifestyle and expected expenses. A common benchmark is 25x your annual expenses, adjusted for the CPF LIFE payouts you'll receive from age 65. 

‍

With the Endowus retirement calculator, find out how much you need to retire by answering a few questions about your spending preferences.

‍

Endowus provides investment solutions that can be tailored to your retirement planning needs. Explore our CPF portfolios, SRS portfolios designed to help you grow your retirement savings.

How can I grow my retirement savings in Singapore?

Beyond monthly CPF contributions, you can grow your retirement savings through voluntary CPF top-ups via the Retirement Sum Topping-Up Scheme (RSTU) and SRS contributions—both of which offer attractive tax reliefs.

‍

You may also consider investing idle CPF and SRS balances using Endowus instead of leaving them idle to earn floor interest rates. Investments involve risk, hence it is important to calibrate your investments to your risk tolerance and retirement goals. 

‍

Learn more about CPF and SRS investing on our Insights page.

What are my retirement income options in Singapore?

In retirement, your income may come from CPF LIFE payouts (from age 65), SRS withdrawals, and any personal investments or property income. 

‍

How you sequence these affects how long your money lasts and how much tax you pay. Use our calculator to model your expected income across these sources.

How does Endowus help with retirement planning?

Through Endowus, you can invest your CPF Ordinary Account, CPF Special Account, SRS, and cash savings into low-cost funds and advised portfolios, allowing you to keep track of the progress of your retirement plan all within one view.
