What counts as taxable income in Singapore

This calculator treats your gross annual employment income, in SGD, as taxable income, then subtracts no standard deduction (none is modelled for this country) and applies the 2026 brackets above.

The first $20,000 of taxable income is taxed at 0%.

You are a tax resident if you are a citizen or permanent resident living in Singapore, or a foreigner who has worked or stayed in Singapore for 183+ days in the calendar year.

Common deductions and allowances: Earned Income Relief; CPF Cash Top-up Relief; Course Fees Relief; Parent Relief / Handicapped Parent Relief.

CPF (Central Provident Fund) is separate from income tax and is not included in the estimate. Singapore citizens and permanent residents contribute up to 20% of wages to CPF — a mandatory savings scheme, not a tax — matched by a substantial employer contribution. Foreigners on an Employment Pass generally don't contribute to CPF at all.

Method and limits are on the About page. See where Singapore ranks in income tax rates by country.

Singapore income tax FAQ

What is the income tax rate in Singapore for 2026?+

Singapore uses 13 progressive brackets, with the marginal rate rising to 24% at the top. Income up to $20,000 is taxed at 0%. Only the slice of income inside each bracket is taxed at that bracket's rate.

How much income tax would I pay on $50,000 in Singapore?+

On a $50,000 USD-equivalent salary (about $67,000), our estimate is $2,440 of income tax, an effective rate of 3.6%, leaving about $64,560 a year or $5,380 a month. This is income tax only.

Does this Singapore calculator include social security or payroll contributions?+

No. It estimates income tax only. CPF (Central Provident Fund) is separate: Singapore citizens and permanent residents contribute up to 20% of wages to CPF — a mandatory savings scheme, not a tax — matched by a substantial employer contribution. Foreigners on an Employment Pass generally don't contribute to CPF at all. Budget for it on top of the income tax shown.

What is the standard deduction in Singapore?+

We model no standard deduction for Singapore, so the brackets apply from the first unit of income. Actual allowances and reliefs may reduce your bill.

When is the income tax return due in Singapore?+

The typical filing deadline is 31 July. Deadlines can differ by filer type and residency, so confirm with Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore (IRAS).

Who counts as a tax resident in Singapore?+

You are a tax resident if you are a citizen or permanent resident living in Singapore, or a foreigner who has worked or stayed in Singapore for 183+ days in the calendar year.

What is the most common mistake when estimating Singapore tax?+

Confusing CPF contributions with income tax — CPF is a personal retirement savings account, not government revenue, and foreign Employment Pass holders typically don't pay into it at all.

How accurate is this Singapore estimate?+

It applies the 2026 brackets we hold for Singapore to your income. It leaves out credits, surcharges, regional taxes and social contributions, so treat it as a planning estimate and confirm with Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore (IRAS) before filing.
