Understanding These Numbers
For a $14,000/month salary, CPF is calculated on $8,000 (capped at the $8,000 OW ceiling).
The employer contribution does not reduce your take-home pay — it is an additional cost to the employer on top of your gross salary. Only the employee contribution is deducted from your monthly pay.
CPF contributions go into three accounts: Ordinary Account (OA, earns 2.5% p.a.), Special Account (SA, earns 4% p.a.), and MediSave Account (MA, earns 4% p.a.). The allocation between accounts varies by age — younger workers put more into OA for housing purposes.
