How much CPF savings can I use for my property purchase?


Updated by CPF
The amount of CPF Ordinary Account (OA) savings you can use depends on:
 
  1. Remaining lease of the property
  2. Type of property
  3. Loan type
  4. Whether it’s your first or subsequent property

Note: For members age 55 and above, your Basic Retirement Sum (BRS) is half of your Full Retirement Sum (FRS) which depends on the year you turn 55 and will remain the same for life. For members below 55, your BRS is half of the prevailing FRS in the year.
 
You can use our CPF Housing Usage Calculator to determine the total amount of CPF savings that you and your co-owner (if any) may use to buy your property.
 
Purchasing your second or subsequent property
 
You can only use your OA savings after setting aside the BRS or FRS (refer to Table B), up to the CPF housing limit of your property.
