SRS- Save taxes & grow your nest egg effortlessly

Let’s talk about Tax Savings and how contributing to a Supplementary Retirement Scheme (SRS) account can help reduce your tax burden.

Re-cap on SRS

SRS is a voluntary contribution scheme which offers attractive tax benefits and helps to accumulate funds for your retirement. Each dollar of SRS contribution will reduce your income chargeable to tax by a dollar and may even lower your income tax bracket!

How it works

The maximum allowable contributions are $15,300 (Singaporeans /PR) and $35,700 (foreigners). Tax savings you would enjoy is dependent on your tax bracket.

For example, if you are a Singaporean earning a chargeable income between $80,000 -$120,000 (Tax Bracket 11.5%), your tax savings will be $1,760.50 ($15,300*11.5%).

Below is a table to show how much you may be able to save against the maximum yearly contribution amount.

Accumulation of Retirement Nest Egg

While reducing your taxes, your SRS contribution can also be put to more efficient use through investing in a wide range of retirement solutions including Institutional Funds.

What Are Institutional Funds?

– Institutional funds are low-expense investments intended for large institutions and Accredited Investors (income > $300k/yr OR Net Assets > $2mil)

– Such funds are not readily available on Retail Platforms / Banks

– One of our Recommended Funds has been performing more than 10%pa over the last 10years

Regular Savings Makes A Golden Retirement

If you make annual contributions of $15,300 to your SRS account for 20 years, your SRS can potentially grow up to $505,000 if you invest and reap a modest return of 5%p.a. Now, this is what we call saving and growing your nest egg effortlessly!
