How do I determine the year of my Singapore Permanent Resident status for the purpose of CPF contributions?

Updated by CPF
The year of Singapore Permanent Resident (SPR) status determines your CPF contribution rates as an SPR.

The first year rate applies from the day you obtain your SPR status. This refers to the date indicated on your entry permit (Form 5/5A) issued by the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority of Singapore (ICA). It ends on the last day of the month of your first anniversary of SPR conversion.

The second and third year rates apply from the month following the anniversary of your conversion to an SPR.

Example

If you have obtained your SPR status on 15 January 2020, the start and end dates for first, second and third year of obtaining SPR status are shown in the table below:
