Your CPF and your home: connect the dots

Three questions to bring housing and retirement into the same conversation.

1. How much have you used for housing?

Find your CPF home ownership dashboard and note how much you have used. When you sell a property, CPF refund requirements can affect how proceeds are split between cash and CPF. Check the actual refund amount and the rules that apply to your circumstances with CPF Board.

2. How do cash and CPF fit together?

Write down your monthly housing payment, the portion paid with cash, and the portion paid with CPF. Consider how each affects money available today and resources for later life. CPF housing usage limits may apply; verify them before changing your payment arrangements.

3. What changes when you look beyond the home?

Put your housing plan beside your retirement timeline. The right questions include how long the loan lasts, what other commitments you expect, and how much flexibility you want. Use official CPF planning tools to explore your position before making a decision.
