Why is CPF Enhanced RS payout less than x3 of BRS' payout? Is ERA yield less advantageous than BRS?

CPF Retirement Sum Scheme: Enhanced RS savings required is 3x the savings required for Basic RS.. However it's monthly payout is lesser than 3x.. Why is that so? Shouldn't it be proportional?

ERS is less worthwhile, as compared to BRS?

Hi anon,

This is because the interest on the first $60K of CPF RA monies is higher than the subsequent amounts.

Thus, on BRS, the effective interest will be higher as the bulk of the amount will be earning 5%-6% p.a. This leads to a higher payout.

On ERS, most of the amount is earning 4% p.a. Thus the payout cannot be exactly 3x of BRS payout.
