Frequently asked questions

What is the Supplementary Retirement Scheme (SRS), and how much tax can I save?

SRS is a voluntary scheme to encourage individuals (Singapore citizens, PRs, and foreigners working in Singapore) to save for retirement with tax benefits and employer contributions. Invest your SRS with Endowus to generate potentially higher retirement savings.

‍

Dollar for dollar tax savings

For every dollar that you contribute, your taxable income is reduced, subject to the personal income tax relief cap of $80,000. The money contributed has restricted use and can mainly only be used for investment purposes.

‍

Annual contribution cap

There is an SRS annual contribution cap of $15,300 per annum for Singapore citizens and SPRs, and $35,700 for foreigners.

‍

Example of tax savings

The more you contribute to SRS, the more tax savings you can get. Here’s an illustration of how much tax you can save as a Singapore citizen or PR:

‍

  • Annual income: S$100,000
  • Personal reliefs (CPF, qualifying child, etc.): -S$36,000
  • SRS contribution: -S$15,300
  • Chargeable income: S$51,300
  • Taxes due with SRS contribution: S$1,159
  • (Taxes due if no SRS contribution: S$2,230)

Annual tax potentially reduced by 48% with SRS contribution

What are the underlying funds in the Endowus SRS investment portfolios?

For general investing, Endowus Flagship Portfolios are composed of global equities and fixed income funds managed by best-in-class fund managers such as PIMCO, Dimensional, and Amundi. For Cash Smart portfolios, please refer to the Cash Smart page here.

‍

Unlike other fund platforms, financial advisors, brokers, banks or distributors, Endowus accesses the institutional share-class of funds that have lower fees, never charges a sales fee, and rebates 100% of trailer fees so you keep more of your returns.

‍

  • A Singaporean, Permanent Resident (PRs) or foreigner working in Singapore
  • At least 18 years old

There are three SRS operators (UOB, DBS & OCBC). You can register for an SRS account with any of them on their online platforms.  You can fund your SRS account by internal bank transfer.
