Make the most of your SRS

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.
