FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is the Retirement Readiness Score?

The Retirement Readiness Score is a free educational self-assessment developed by Hingfluence. It turns your answers about income, expenses, savings, CPF progress, healthcare preparation and emergency funds into a score out of 100, together with an estimate of your retirement income gap. It is not an official score issued or endorsed by MAS, MoneySense, CPF Board, any insurer or any government agency.

How is the score calculated?

The score adds up five categories: retirement income adequacy (40 points), retirement savings progress (25 points), CPF and lifelong income readiness (15 points), healthcare and insurance preparedness (10 points), and emergency liquidity (10 points). The methodology is based on publicly available Singapore retirement-planning guidance from sources such as MoneySense and CPF Board. Unanswered or unsure responses are not awarded points.

How much do I need to retire in Singapore?

It depends on your expected lifestyle and expenses. As a general reference, MoneySense suggests a spending benchmark of roughly two-thirds of your last drawn monthly salary and recommends planning for retirement savings that can last at least 20 to 30 years. This tool estimates your own figure from the monthly retirement spending you enter.

What are the CPF retirement sums for 2026?

For CPF members turning 55 in 2026, the Basic Retirement Sum is S$110,200, the Full Retirement Sum is S$220,400 and the Enhanced Retirement Sum is S$440,800, according to CPF Board. These reference levels are linked to estimated CPF LIFE monthly payouts from age 65 of about S$950, S$1,780 and S$3,440 respectively under the Standard Plan. Always verify the latest figures on cpf.gov.sg.

What is the retirement age in Singapore?

From 1 July 2026, the statutory minimum retirement age in Singapore is 64 and the re-employment age is 69, according to the Ministry of Manpower. These are separate from your CPF LIFE payout start age, which you can choose between 65 and 70. Many people also choose a personal target retirement age that is earlier or later than the statutory age.

What is CPF LIFE and when do payouts start?

CPF LIFE is Singapore's national longevity insurance annuity scheme. It converts your CPF Retirement Account savings into monthly payouts that continue for as long as you live. Payouts can start from age 65, and you can defer the start up to age 70; each year of deferral increases your monthly payout by up to about 7 percent, according to CPF Board.

Does the assessment include my CPF LIFE payouts?

Yes, as a reference estimate. Based on the CPF retirement sum tier you indicate, the tool uses CPF Board's published estimated monthly payouts under the CPF LIFE Standard Plan from age 65. Your actual CPF LIFE payout depends on your Retirement Account balance, your plan choice and your payout start age, so check your own projections on the CPF Retirement Dashboard.

Can I use this if I am self-employed or have little CPF?

Yes. The assessment does not require any CPF balance. It looks at your overall retirement income sources, savings progress, healthcare preparation and emergency funds, so self-employed persons, homemakers and expatriates in Singapore can also use it as an educational starting point.

Is this an official MAS or CPF Board score?

No. This is a proprietary educational assessment developed by Hingfluence. It is not issued, approved or endorsed by MAS, MoneySense, CPF Board, any insurer or any Singapore Government agency. It references publicly available official guidance for its benchmarks.

Does the result count as financial advice?

No. The result is a general educational estimate based on the information and assumptions you provide. It is not personalised financial advice, a recommendation, or a guarantee of retirement adequacy or future returns. Consider speaking with a licensed financial adviser before making financial decisions.

Is the assessment free?

Yes. The assessment and your readiness summary are completely free. There is no credit card required and no obligation to take any further action.

How long is my data stored?

Your contact information and assessment answers are stored on encrypted infrastructure provided by Google Firebase. You can request deletion of your data at any time by contacting us. Hingfluence does not sell your personal information.

How much do you need to retire in Singapore?

MoneySense, Singapore's national financial education programme, suggests planning for retirement spending of roughly two-thirds of your last drawn monthly salary, and for savings that can last at least 20 to 30 years of retirement. For example, if your last drawn salary is S$6,000 a month, a starting benchmark is about S$4,000 a month of retirement income. The Retirement Readiness Score turns your own numbers into an estimated monthly income gap instead of relying on averages.

Retirement age and CPF LIFE payout age

From 1 July 2026, the statutory minimum retirement age in Singapore is 64 and the re-employment age is 69, according to the Ministry of Manpower. CPF LIFE monthly payouts can start from age 65, and deferring the start up to age 70 increases the monthly payout by up to about 7 percent for each year deferred, according to CPF Board.

Rules of thumb from the MAS Basic Financial Planning Guide

  • Set aside at least 3 to 6 months of expenses as emergency funds before investing for retirement.
  • Invest at least 10 percent of your income for retirement and other long-term goals.
  • Review your insurance protection so that large healthcare bills do not erode retirement savings; MediShield Life and CareShield Life provide the national baseline.

How this tool estimates your retirement gap

The Retirement Readiness Score asks 7 quick questions about your age, target retirement age, income, expected retirement spending with an optional inflation adjustment, savings, CPF LIFE outlook, healthcare preparation and emergency funds. It then scores your readiness out of 100 across five weighted categories and estimates your monthly retirement income gap. Every benchmark is documented on the Sources & References page, with links to CPF Board, MoneySense and the Ministry of Manpower. It is an educational self-assessment by Hingfluence, not an official MAS or CPF Board score, and not financial advice.

Figures last reviewed on 13 July 2026. Always verify the latest numbers with the official source before making decisions.
