Emir Baycan found something wrong, outdated, or unsupported on this page and proposed a fix. The publisher accepted the correction.
The exact change

For employees aged 55 and below earning monthly wages above SGD 750, the employer must contribute 17% of the employee's ordinary wages to the Central Provident Fund (CPF), while the employee contributes 20%. The total CPF contribution is 37% of ordinary wages.
Suggested change
Reviewed CPF contribution rates and retirement age figures against authoritative sources as part of a broader Singapore-directory verification batch; confirmed correct.
Why this is better
The CPF employer contribution rate and total combined rate were understated (16%/36% instead of the correct current 17%/37%), a factual error in one of the article's core figures.
How this record is verified
- The contribution is tied to a real, identified contributor, not an anonymous byline.
- It counts only because the publisher, Corpy, accepted it. Self-claimed work earns nothing.
- It is recorded against a specific page and cannot be bought or edited after the fact.
