I have made a CPF Special Account Vs Full Retirement Sum Estimator to estimate how soon can we hit the Full Retirement Sum using the Special Account only.

It simulates the regular monthly contribution of both employer and employee excluding bonuses. You can enter an annual average increment to automatically increase your salary each year.

Please note that this estimator have a few limitations:
  • All calculations are just estimates as
    • Increments may change
    • Full Retirement Sums may change
    • CPF Contributions and Allocations may change
    • CPF Special and Retirement Account Interest may be calculated differently depending on the investment
  • Assumptions
    • This spreadsheet assumes that the Full Retirement Sum increases at a rate of 3% on average, rounded off to the nearest thousand. 
    • Salary bonuses are excluded for simplicity and conservativeness.
    • Interest Rates for ages below 55 are assumed to be 5% for the first $40,000 of the Special Account and 4% thereafter.
    • Interest Rates for ages above 55 and before 65 are assumed to be 6% for the first $30,000 of the Retirement Account, 5% for the next $30,000 and 4% thereafter.
    • No spillover of the Medisave Account contributions are factored in as well.
