Withdrawing your SRS

Singaporeans and PRs can withdraw from their SRS accounts from the statutory retirement age of 63 over a period of up to 10 years, starting from the first withdrawal. Foreigners can withdraw without penalties after 10 years of opening an SRS account. 50% of every withdrawal will be subject to tax. Given no other income sources in any given year, here’s how much you would pay in tax:

Withdrawal amount in any given year

Amount on which you pay tax (50%)

Tax payable

$40,000
$20,000
Nil, because the first $20,000 is tax exempt
$80,000
$40,000
$550
$160,000
$80,000
$3,350

 
All amounts are in SGD. The payable tax is based on the prevailing tax rates as of December 2022.

Tip: For Singaporeans and PRs at retirement age, withdrawing in smaller increments over 10 years can reduce the amount of tax they pay per year, given that the first $40,000 is tax exempt.

Frequently Asked Questions

Any Singaporean Citizen, Permanent Resident, or foreign employee who is a tax resident of Singapore can contribute to an SRS account.

If you haven’t done so already, first open an SRS contribution account with DBS, OCBC, or UOB.

Then, to start investing your SRS funds with StashAway, create a new portfolio and indicate that you want to use SRS funds, and you'll be guided through the quick setup process.

On your behalf, we can automatically request the SRS funds from your SRS contribution account bank at the date and/or frequency you specify. That way, you don't have to worry about remembering to transfer! Your deposit plan into StashAway from your SRS account can be changed at any time right from our app.

StashAway has only a simple annual fee between 0.2% and 0.8%, depending on your overall StashAway account balance. There are no subscription fees, no redemption fees, no custodian fees, and no penalty fees.

There's no management fee with StashAway Simple™ portfolio.

SRS’s main advantage is the tax benefits it offers. Whatever amount you contribute to your SRS account is fully deducted from your tax bill that year (Singaporeans and PRs can contribute to their SRS bank accounts up to $15,300 SGD per year, and foreigners can contribute up $35,700 SGD per year). These contributions lead to significant tax savings: Singaporeans who max out their SRS contributions can decrease their taxes by up to $3,366 SGD each year, depending on their tax bracket. Foreigners, given their larger contribution cap, can save nearly $8,000 SGD per annum, totaling nearly $80,000 SGD over the course of 10 years, assuming a full SRS contribution during those 10 years.

Withdrawals at retirement (or when conditions are met) are given a 50% tax concession and can be spread over 10 years to minimise taxes.
