Let’s dive into how to make the most of your CPF and other financial tools to enjoy this well-earned chapter of life. 🏖️

1. Know Your CPF Retirement Account 💼

The CPF Retirement Account (RA) is your best friend in retirement. If you’re 65 and above, you’ve likely started receiving CPF LIFE payouts.

These monthly payouts are designed to support you for life!

Make sure you know how much you’ll get and adjust your lifestyle to match.

2. Understand CPF LIFE Payouts 💸

CPF LIFE is the government’s annuity scheme, ensuring you’ll have steady income in your retirement years.

Not sure if you’re getting the most out of it?

Use the CPF LIFE Estimator tool to calculate your payouts based on the plan you chose—Standard, Basic, or Escalating.

3. Boost Your CPF with Top-Ups 🏦

Did you know you can boost your payouts even after retiring?

By topping up your RA using cash or CPF savings, you can increase your CPF LIFE payouts. Plus, you’ll enjoy tax relief when you top up for yourself or your spouse. (Up to 8k as of 2025 information!)

4. Don’t Forget About MediSave 🏥

Healthcare is a key consideration in retirement.

Your MediSave Account helps you cover medical expenses like hospital stays or outpatient treatments.

Use MediShield Life or private Integrated Shield Plans OR...

if you already have, do at least annual or bi-annual update with your financial advisor and regular check up for that extra peace of mind.
