To simplify the illustrations, the scenarios are based on the following assumptions:
- Employees are aged 50 years old or below
- CPF contribution rate is 34.5%
Scenario 1 – Employer A
a) Employer A has 3 Singaporean employees. Table 1.1 shows the record of Employer A’s CPF contributions for his employees.
Table 1.1: Monthly CPF Contributions by Employer A
b) Based on the CPF contribution rate of 34.5%, the employees’ monthly wages are re-grossed as follows:
Table 1.2: Monthly Wages of Employees
c) As the figures in Table 1.2 show that the employees’ monthly wages are below the $2,500 wage limit, the total Jobs Credit Employer A will receive is $1,408.68
.
