How CPF Interest Works
CPF pays different interest rates depending on the account. Your Ordinary Account (OA) earns 2.5% per annum, while the Special Account (SA), MediSave Account (MA), and Retirement Account (RA) each earn 4.0% per annum. These are guaranteed minimum floor rates.
On top of the base rates, CPF members earn an additional 1% extra interest on the first $60,000 of combined balances. However, the OA portion eligible for extra interest is capped at $20,000. This means up to $20,000 in your OA earns 3.5%, and the remaining $40,000 from SA/MA/RA earns 5.0%.
Members aged 55 and above get a further additional 1% on the first $30,000 of combined balances (OA cap of $20,000). This means seniors can earn up to 6.0% on qualifying SA/MA/RA balances — among the highest risk-free rates available in Singapore.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the CPF interest rates?expand_more
The Ordinary Account (OA) earns a minimum of 2.5% per annum. The Special Account (SA), MediSave Account (MA), and Retirement Account (RA) each earn a minimum of 4.0% per annum. These are the guaranteed floor rates set by the government — actual rates may be higher based on market conditions.
How does the extra 1% interest on the first $60,000 work?expand_more
CPF members earn an additional 1% interest on the first $60,000 of their combined CPF balances (with an OA cap of $20,000). This means the first $20,000 in your OA earns 3.5% instead of 2.5%, and the first $60,000 across SA, MA, and RA earns 5.0% instead of 4.0%. The extra interest is credited to your SA or RA.
Do members aged 55 and above get additional extra interest?expand_more
Yes, CPF members aged 55 and above earn an additional 1% extra interest on the first $30,000 of their combined CPF balances (with an OA cap of $20,000). Combined with the standard extra interest, this means members 55+ can earn up to 6.0% on their SA/MA/RA balances for the first $30,000.
Is CPF interest compounded?expand_more
Yes, CPF interest is computed monthly and compounded annually. Interest earned each month is added to your account balance at the end of the year. This means you earn interest on your interest over time, which significantly boosts your long-term CPF savings.
When is CPF interest credited to my account?expand_more
CPF interest is computed monthly based on the lowest balance in each account during the month. The accumulated monthly interest for the year is then credited to your accounts at the end of December each year. Extra interest is credited to your SA (if below 55) or RA (if 55 and above).
