For the second quarter of 2022, CPF members below 55 years old will continue to earn interest rates of up to 3.5% per annum on their Ordinary Account (OA) monies, and up to 5% per annum on their Special and MediSave Account (SMA) monies. These interest rates include an extra 1% interest paid on the first $60,000 of a member’s combined balances (capped at $20,000 for OA).

For members aged 55 and above, the Government pays an extra 2% interest on the first $30,000 of their combined balances (capped at $20,000 for OA), and an extra 1% on the next $30,000. This means that they will earn up to 6% interest per year on their retirement balances.

The extra interest paid to CPF members is part of the Government’s efforts to enhance the retirement savings for CPF members.

The extra interest received on the OA will go into the member’s Special Account (SA) or Retirement Account (RA). If a member is above 55 years old and participates in the CPF LIFE scheme, the extra interest will still be earned on his or her combined balances, which includes the savings used for CPF LIFE.
