A Seamless Welcome Experience

From the moment you launch the tool, you are guided through a clean, intuitive interface designed to make complex financial data easy to set up and digest.

Guided Setup

Input your current balances, age, and salary details in a step-by-step, frictionless onboarding process tailored for absolute clarity.

Unified Dashboard

Up to ten analytical tabs β€” Readiness, Overview, Strategy, Grow/Spend, Payout Plans, RSS, Compare, Household, Data Table, and Docs β€” each a fully independent analytical view. Tabs are shown or hidden automatically based on your citizenship, CPF scheme, and household settings.

Milestone Tracking

Your welcome screen immediately highlights critical upcoming milestones, including FRS targets, age 55 transfers, and property sales.

Understanding Core Policies

Our tool dynamically adapts to the latest CPF rules, helping you optimize allocations across your accounts.

Ordinary Account (OA)

Designed primarily for housing, insurance, and investment. Our planner helps project your OA balances considering mortgage deductions, earning 2.5% p.a. (up to 3.5% p.a. with bonus interest on first $20,000).

Special Account (SA)

SA earns 4.0% p.a. and closes at age 55, transferring to RA up to the Full Retirement Sum (FRS).

MediSave Account (MA)

Safeguards healthcare needs at 4.0% p.a. Track your MA growth towards the Basic Healthcare Sum (BHS) and see how overflows optimize your SA/OA balances.

Advanced Pro Tools

Go beyond basic calculators with our comprehensive suite of enterprise-grade simulation engines.

Retirement Readiness Dashboard

A dedicated tab with a composite Readiness Score built from five weighted dimensions: FRS Coverage, Income Adequacy, Stress Resilience (fed by P10 Monte Carlo or Perfect Storm), Longevity Cover (projection to age 95), and Healthcare Shield (MA vs BHS). An Action Priority Queue ranks your top 5 highest-impact moves by urgency and projected $-gain. The MAS Financial Health Panel runs 6 advisory checks (Emergency Buffer, Savings Rate, Inflation Hedge, Liquidity Ratio, Legacy Readiness, Protection Adequacy) aligned to MAS's Basic Financial Planning Guide. An Estate Planning Panel projects your estimated estate value from age 65–95 across CPF bequest, OA, MA, and property. A High Net Worth badge appears when projected total wealth exceeds $1M.

Goal Simulator & Income Roadmap

Set a CPF balance target at payout age β€” the solver instantly generates three strategies: Strategy A (RSTU only, up to $8,000/yr), Strategy B (VC3A only, up to $37,740/yr), and Strategy C (blended). Each card shows feasibility, required annual cash, monthly equivalent, and an Apply to Profile button that writes the values directly to your sidebar. Paired with the Income Roadmap, which sets a Target Monthly Income and uses ⚑ Fill Gap to auto-calculate the exact OA Drawdown needed to close any shortfall, displaying a Gantt timeline of all income streams β€” CPF LIFE, OA Drawdown, SRS, and Private Assets β€” side by side.

CPF LIFE Simulator

Compare Standard, Escalating, and Basic plans side-by-side. Instantly visualize your lifelong monthly payouts and long-term bequest values.

Stress Centre & Monte Carlo

Two distinct stress-testing engines. Monte Carlo (Grow/Spend tab) runs 200 simulations with Mild/Base/Stress rate variance, plotting P10–P50–P90 bands on your accumulation curve. The Stress Centre (Strategy tab) runs 7 named deterministic scenarios β€” each overlaid on your base projection as a separate curve: Perfect Storm (all 5 stressors combined), Sequence of Returns Risk (private asset crash in early retirement), Inflation Stress (custom elevated CPI), Property Correction (custom property rate), CPF Rate Cut (OAβ†’1.5%, SA/MA/RAβ†’3.0%), Healthcare Surge (medical cost inflation), and Tier Shock (RA drops one tier at payout age). All scenarios are configurable and update in real time.

Household Mode

Model a dual-income couple with separate CPF profiles, shared housing costs, and children timelines. View combined CPF LIFE payouts and coordinated top-up strategies for both partners.

SRS Full Module

Track Supplementary Retirement Scheme balance, annual contributions (SC/PR cap $15,300; foreigner cap $35,700), drawdown phasing from age 63, and a live estimated annual tax-saving badge.

Property Monetisation

Model three HDB monetisation paths β€” Downgrade, Lease Buyback Scheme (LBS), and Silver Housing Bonus (SHB) β€” with the exact RA top-up and cash proceeds for each option.

PR Contribution Rates

Accurate Year 1 and Year 2 PR rates under G/G (Graduated/Graduated) and F/G (Full/Graduated) schedules β€” all age bands, all CPF accounts, per CPF Board 2026 tables.

RSS Mode & CPF LIFE Migration

Full Retirement Sum Scheme support for members born before 1958. Project RA depletion age under RSS and simulate voluntary CPF LIFE migration up to age 80 with plan selection.

Dashboard, Cashflow Ledger & Exports

The Dashboard tab (CPF Overview sub-view) houses a 5-tile KPI strip, net-worth doughnut, HNW badge, estate planning panel, Milestone Snapshots, and What-If Explorer sliders for instant base-vs-what-if divergence. The Data Table tab includes a Cashflow Ledger sub-view with an annual row-by-row breakdown of every inflow, outflow, interest, and transfer component β€” exportable as CSV. XIRR / CPF Yield IRR calculates the actual internal rate of return for each CPF LIFE plan year-by-year. A Real vs Nominal toggle adjusts all charts and figures for inflation across the entire app. Export complete scenarios as PDF, CSV, or encode all inputs into a shareable URL β€” no login required.

⚑ Turbocharger

A dedicated sub-tab in Strategy that scans all 8 CPF levers simultaneously — RSTU, VC3A, VCMA, OA→SA/RA Transfer, VHR, SRS, Deferment to 70, and Property Monetisation. Shows how much yield you're leaving on the table for each lever, with active/inactive status, tax-saving badges, age-expiry alerts, and conflict detection. Apply individual levers or hit Apply All to write every eligible lever to your profile at once. Includes an Annual Cash Budget cap, an Annual Action Checklist, and a Session Change Log. An Annual Tax Bracket Optimizer sub-tab finds the optimal RSTU + VCMA + SRS allocation to drop you into the next lower IRAS bracket — with one-click Apply buttons for each scenario.

CPFIS β€” CPF Investment Scheme

Model annual OA and SA investments via the CPF Investment Scheme. OA funds above $20,000 and SA funds above $40,000 (pre-55 only) are eligible. The engine deducts the investment outflow correctly each year β€” investment returns are modelled via the Private Assets rate β€” so you can see the opportunity cost of investing vs leaving funds to compound at 2.5%/4.0% inside CPF.

Self-Employed Mode

Enable Self-Employed Person (SEP) mode and enter Net Trade Income (NTI). The engine automatically applies mandatory MediSave contributions at correct NTI-banded rates (capped at $96,000 NTI), skips employer OA/SA contributions, and flags VC3A voluntary contribution headroom. A dedicated Freelancer preset profile is available in the Setup Wizard.

Baby Millionaire Profiles

Two preset profiles for newborn Singapore Citizens. Strategy A (Full Launch): RSTU $220,400 + VCMA $79,000 at birth, plus VC3A $37,740/yr β€” projects ~$2.06M by age 21. Strategy B (Annual Only): VC3A $37,740/yr with no birth lump sums β€” projects ~$1.51M by age 21. The $5,000 MediSave Grant for Newborns (MGN) is auto-credited in year 0 for both strategies.

Cash Budget & Take-Home Calculator

Enter your gross monthly salary and the engine computes estimated take-home pay after mandatory CPF deductions and income tax, showing your monthly cash surplus available for voluntary contributions or SRS. Updates live as you adjust salary or contribution levers β€” helping you size voluntary top-ups against real disposable income.

VCMA β€” MediSave Top-Up

Voluntary cash top-ups to MediSave (VCMA) earn a tax-deductible 4.0% p.a. up to the Basic Healthcare Sum ($79,000 in 2026). Unlike SA, MediSave has no age-55 closure β€” funds compound indefinitely and eligible members unlock the $1,000/yr MMSS government matching grant (pilot 2026–2030). VCMA sits outside the $37,740 annual CPF limit, so it stacks on top of VC3A in the same year.

VC3A β€” Max Voluntary Contributions

Voluntary Contributions to All 3 Accounts (VC3A) fill unused headroom up to the $37,740 annual CPF limit across OA, SA, and MA in CPF-determined proportions. Every dollar earns at least 2.5%, with SA and MA portions earning 4.0%. Particularly powerful for self-employed members whose mandatory MA contributions leave significant unused annual limit room.

OA→SA/RA Transfer

Moving excess OA to SA (before 55) or directly to RA (after 55) captures an immediate 1.5% rate uplift with zero additional cash outlay. The transfer is irreversible but has no annual cap β€” the engine automatically caps each year's transfer at your remaining FRS/ERS headroom so you never over-transfer. If RA is below FRS, VHR refunds also flow to RA first. Combined with RSTU and VC3A, this is the lowest-friction lever in the Turbocharger toolkit.

Model the Unexpected

Overlay real-world disruptions directly on your CPF projection curve. Toggle individual Life Events on or off β€” retrenchment, career break, windfall, medical crisis, early retirement, or hyperinflation β€” and your balances, payout age, and Readiness Score recalculate instantly. See exactly how many months of income disruption you can absorb before your retirement plan breaks.

OA Drawdown & Die with Zero

Configure post-payout monthly OA draws with a bequest floor. Enable Die with Zero mode to fully deplete liquid assets by a target age, maximising lifetime consumption.

Strategic Insights

The 2026 Strategic Playbook

Capitalize on the latest CPF policy shifts, maximize your yields, and secure your retirement. These are the core growth strategies driving the planner's engine.

Safety & resilience tools β€” stress-testing, scam shields, and withdrawal locks β€” are in a separate section below.

The New Max Target

2026 ERS Cap

The Age 55 ERS Lock-In

With the closure of the Special Account (SA) for members aged 55+, old 'shielding' loopholes are obsolete. The new optimal move to maximize the 4.0% interest floor is transferring excess OA to RA up to the 2026 Enhanced Retirement Sum (ERS).

The 100% Yield Arbitrage

Capitalize on the new Matched Retirement Savings Scheme (MRSS) and Matched MediSave Scheme (MMSS). This grants Singapore Citizens aged 55+ with RA below BRS an immediate 100% return via dollar-for-dollar government matching ($2,000/yr, lifetime cap $20,000).

Age 70 Payout +35%

The Deferment Multiplier

Patience pays massive dividends. Deferring your CPF LIFE payouts from age 65 to age 70 increases your lifelong monthly income payout by up to 35% (a guaranteed 7% structural increase for every year deferred).

The Cost of Inaction

Leaving $30,000 in your Ordinary Account instead of transferring it to your Special or Retirement Account costs you approximately $16,500 in lost compounding interest over 20 years.

The Triple-Lock Strategy

Order matters. Top up $2,000 first (if eligible) to trigger the MRSS matching grant. Separately, execute a Retirement Sum Topping-Up (RSTU) for up to $8,000 in tax relief, before finally sweeping excess OA to lock in the 4% yield.

VHR & Property Sales

Using CPF for housing incurs a hidden 2.5% compounding debt. Model a future Property Sale to see the impact of accrued interest refunds, or execute a Voluntary Housing Refund (VHR) today to stop the leak and boost your retirement balance.

The January Timing Arbitrage

CPF credits interest on each month's lowest balance. Cash top-ups (RSTU/VC3A/VCMA) made on 1 January start earning a full year earlier than mid-year contributions — worth up to +$1,721/yr more. OA→SA/RA transfers have no posting lag: do them in January to capture the 1.5% rate differential immediately.

The SRS Drawdown Optimiser

SRS withdrawals from age 63 are taxed at 50% of the amount drawn. If you spread the drawdown over 10 years at ~$30,600/yr, only $15,300 is taxable annually β€” below the $20,000 zero-tax threshold. Effective rate: 0%. The planner shows your optimal phased withdrawal schedule.

The CPFIS De-Risking Runway

The CPF Investment Scheme lets you invest OA savings in equities and unit trusts. Break-even vs the guaranteed 2.5% OA rate is modest β€” but sequence-of-returns risk in the years before 55 is real. A "de-risking runway" exits CPFIS by age 50 and transfers proceeds back to OA, locking in gains before SA closes and RA crystallises.

Got Questions?

Frequently Asked Questions

Is my personal financial data saved anywhere?
Absolutely not. Fusion ε―Œη”Ÿ is a client-side application. This means all of your salary inputs, account balances, and age data are processed entirely within your own web browser. We do not have a database, and zero financial data is ever transmitted to our servers.
Are the CPF interest rates and limits up to date?
Yes. The mathematical models driving the projections are aligned with the official 2026 CPF Board rates: OA earns 2.5%, and SA, MA, and RA earn 4.0%. Key limits reflect 2026 targets, including the Full Retirement Sum (FRS) at $220,400, Enhanced Retirement Sum (ERS) at $440,800, and Basic Healthcare Sum (BHS) at $79,000.
What is CPF LIFE and which plan should I choose?
CPF LIFE provides lifelong monthly payouts from age 65. Our app simulates the Standard, Escalating, and Basic plans so you can compare exactly how much you'll receive monthly versus the eventual bequest left to your beneficiaries based on your projected Retirement Account (RA) balance.
Is this tool affiliated with the CPF Board?
No. Fusion ε―Œη”Ÿ is an independent educational tool created to help Singaporeans better visualize their retirement compounding. It is not supported, approved, or sanctioned by the Central Provident Fund Board or any government agency.
Is this free to use?
Yes, this prototype simulation tool is 100% free to use for educational and informational purposes.This software is in its beta development stage and the results and projections generated are hypothetical and should not be construed as professional advice. Use this tool at your own risk.The developer is not liable for any financial decisions made based on these simulations. Please consult a certified and licensed professional financial advisor for your specific retirement needs.
How many analytical tabs does the planner have?
Up to ten tabs, depending on your profile: Readiness (CPF LIFE members only β€” not shown for RSS members or Foreigners), Overview (KPI strip, net-worth doughnut, What-If sliders, HNW badge, and Estate Planning Panel), Strategy (Goal Simulator, Stress Centre, Turbocharger, and Tax Optimizer sub-tabs), Grow/Spend (Accumulation and Decumulation sub-tabs with Monte Carlo), Payout Plans (CPF LIFE plan comparison with XIRR), RSS (pre-1958 members only), Compare (Scenario A vs B), Household (when enabled), Data Table (with Cashflow Ledger sub-view and CSV export), and Docs. Tabs are shown or hidden automatically based on your citizenship, CPF scheme, and household settings.
What stress tests does the planner include?
Two distinct stress-testing engines. Monte Carlo (in the Grow/Spend tab) runs 200 simulations with Mild, Base, and Stress rate variance settings, plotting P10, P50, and P90 outcome bands on your accumulation curve β€” your Readiness Score's Stress Resilience dimension is fed by the P10 result. The Stress Centre (a dedicated sub-tab inside Strategy) runs 7 named deterministic scenarios simultaneously, each overlaid on your base projection: Perfect Storm (all 5 stressors combined at once), Sequence of Returns Risk / SORR (private asset crash early in retirement), Inflation Stress (custom elevated CPI), Property Correction (custom property growth rate), CPF Rate Cut (OA drops to 1.5%, SA/MA/RA drop to 3.0%), Healthcare Surge (elevated medical cost inflation), and Tier Shock (RA drops one payout tier at retirement age). All parameters are configurable in real time.
What is the Turbocharger, and how is it different from the Goal Simulator?
They solve opposite problems. The Goal Simulator works backwards from a target — you enter a desired CPF balance and it calculates the exact annual contributions needed across three strategies. The Turbocharger works forwards — it scans all 8 CPF levers (RSTU, VC3A, VCMA, OA→SA/RA Transfer, VHR, SRS, Deferment to 70, Property Monetisation) against your current profile and shows exactly what yield you're leaving on the table today, including payout sensitivity ($/month per $1,000 contributed), tax-saving badges, age-expiry alerts, conflict detection, and an Annual Action Checklist. Apply individual levers or hit Apply All to write every eligible lever to your profile in one click; Undo All reverts everything instantly. A Tax Bracket Optimizer sub-tab finds the optimal RSTU + VCMA + SRS allocation to drop you into the next lower IRAS bracket with one-click Apply buttons.
What is VCMA and how does it differ from RSTU?
Both are voluntary cash top-ups to CPF but they target different accounts. RSTU (Retirement Sum Topping-Up) tops up SA (before 55) or RA (after 55), providing up to $8,000/yr in income tax relief. VCMA (Voluntary Contribution to MediSave Account) tops up your MA to the Basic Healthcare Sum ($79,000 in 2026), also tax-deductible, at 4.0% p.a. Crucially, VCMA sits outside the $37,740 annual CPF contribution limit β€” meaning you can do VCMA on top of VC3A in the same year. Eligible members (MA below half of BHS) also unlock the $1,000/yr MMSS government matching grant (2026–2030 pilot). Unlike SA, MediSave has no age-55 closure β€” it compounds indefinitely.
Does the planner support self-employed persons or freelancers?
Yes. Enable Self-Employed Person (SEP) mode and enter your Net Trade Income (NTI). The engine computes mandatory MediSave contributions at the correct NTI-banded MA rates (capped at $96,000 NTI), skips mandatory OA/SA employer contributions that don't apply to SEPs, and shows your VC3A voluntary contribution headroom. A dedicated Freelancer preset profile is available in the Setup Wizard for quick onboarding.
What is the Baby Millionaire profile?
The Baby Millionaire profiles are two preset configurations for a newborn Singapore Citizen. Strategy A (Full Launch) applies an RSTU lump-sum of $220,400 to fill SA to FRS, a VCMA top-up of $79,000 to fill MA to BHS at birth, and VC3A contributions of $37,740/yr thereafter β€” projecting approximately $2.06M by age 21. Strategy B (Annual Only) applies only the $37,740/yr VC3A contributions with no birth lump sums, projecting approximately $1.51M by age 21. The $5,000 MediSave Grant for Newborns (MGN) is automatically credited in year 0 under both strategies.
What are Life Events, and how do they work?
Life Events let you overlay real-world disruptions on your CPF projection β€” retrenchment, career breaks, medical crises, windfalls, early retirement, and hyperinflation scenarios. Each event is fully configurable with start and end ages and an annual magnitude. Toggle events on or off to instantly see the impact on your CPF balances and retirement readiness score.
How does the Goal Simulator work?
Found in the Strategy tab, the Goal Simulator lets you enter a target CPF balance at your payout age, then click ⚑ Calculate Strategies. The solver runs a binary search across three plans: Strategy A uses RSTU alone (up to $8,000/yr), Strategy B uses Voluntary Contributions to all 3 accounts (VC3A, up to $37,740/yr), and Strategy C blends both levers. Each result shows whether the target is feasible, the required annual cash outlay, and a monthly equivalent. The Apply to Profile button writes the strategy values directly into your sidebar inputs, so you can immediately see the full projection impact. Clear Simulator reverts everything to your original baseline β€” even after applying multiple strategies. The paired Income Roadmap sub-tab lets you set a Target Monthly Income and auto-fills the OA Drawdown amount needed to close any shortfall.
Can I model a couple's retirement together?
Yes. Enable Household Mode to add a spouse or partner with their own CPF balances, salary, contribution rates, and CPF LIFE payout settings. The Household tab displays a combined retirement income chart with projected joint CPF LIFE payouts and OA drawdown streams, plus children timeline milestones for education-related planning.
Does it support Permanent Residents (PR)?
Yes. Set your citizenship status to PR and select your tenure year (Year 1, Year 2, or Year 3+ full rates). The engine automatically applies the correct G/G (Graduated/Graduated) or F/G (Full/Graduated) OA, SA, and MA contribution rates from the official CPF Board 2026 tables for each age band.
