Workfare Income Supplement (WIS) — quick overview

WIS supports lower-wage Singaporean workers by topping up income and boosting CPF savings. It covers employees, self-employed persons, and platform workers who meet age, income (generally $500–$3,000/month), and property criteria.

​

From work done in 2025:

• Income cap increases to $3,000
• Maximum annual payouts rise (up to $4,900 for older workers)
• Platform workers move to monthly payouts

Employees receive 40% in cash and 60% in CPF. SEPs and platform workers receive 10% cash and 90% MediSave.

​

No application needed if contributions and declarations are in order.
