CPF Refund Calculator Singapore

Estimate the CPF housing refund that may be required when selling a property in Singapore. The refund usually includes the CPF principal amount used, accrued interest, and pledged amount where applicable.

This calculator helps sellers understand why selling price is not the same as cash proceeds. It is designed for planning awareness before using the Sales Proceeds Calculator.

Important: This calculator provides an indicative estimate only. Your exact CPF refund amount should be verified through CPF Board’s official services before making any property decision.

CPF amount used for purchase, loan, stamp duty, legal fees, or grants if shown in CPF records.
Check your CPF Home Ownership dashboard for the latest amount.
Relevant if your property was pledged to meet your retirement sum.

How This CPF Refund Calculator Works

This calculator follows a simple CPF housing refund framework. It estimates the required CPF refund, then compares it with the estimated balance after the outstanding housing loan is paid.

1. CPF Principal Used

This is the CPF amount used for your property, including amounts used for purchase, housing loan, and related housing payments.

2. Accrued Interest

This is the interest that would have been earned if the CPF monies had remained in your CPF account.

3. Pledged Amount

If your property was pledged to meet your retirement sum, a pledged amount may also need to be refunded.
