How Tax Reliefs Work in Singapore

Tax reliefs reduce your chargeable income, which lowers the amount of income tax you pay. The more reliefs you claim, the less income is subject to tax.

The total personal relief cap is $80,000 for YA2026. Even if your individual reliefs add up to more, IRAS will cap the total deduction at $80,000.

The actual tax savings depend on your marginal tax rate. For example, if you are in the 11.5% bracket, every $1,000 of relief saves you $115 in tax. Those in higher brackets benefit more from the same relief amount.
