CPF returns to your CPF account, not your bank account — it is not lost, but you cannot spend it. Figures are indicative guidance for 2026.

These are estimates. The number that matters is what a real buyer will pay. I price against actual comparables, not an algorithm.

How this is calculated

Your net proceeds are the sale price less every cost that comes off it at completion. Most sellers underestimate this by tens of thousands because they forget GST on commission and the CPF accrued interest.

Seller’s Stamp Duty

For residential property bought on or after 4 July 2025, SSD runs on a four-year ladder: 16% in year one, 12% in year two, 8% in year three, 4% in year four, and nothing after that. Properties bought between 11 March 2017 and 3 July 2025 keep the older three-year ladder of 12%, 8% and 4%. SSD is charged on the higher of sale price or market value.

CPF refund and accrued interest

Whatever CPF you used for the purchase must be returned to your CPF account, plus the interest that money would have earned at 2.5% per annum had it stayed there. On a long hold this can be substantial. It is not a loss — the money is yours — but it does not reach your bank account.

Commission and GST

Private residential commission is typically 1%–2%. GST at 9% applies on top of the commission itself, not on the sale price.

Important — please read

This calculator gives indicative estimates only and does not constitute financial, legal, tax or investment advice. Stamp duty rates, cooling measures and CPF rules change, and the correct treatment depends on your specific circumstances — including your residency status, property count, ownership structure, marital status and the exact dates of your transaction.

Always verify current rates with IRAS and seek advice from your own conveyancing lawyer, tax adviser and banker before acting. Figures shown are rounded and exclude items such as renovation, agent fees on your next purchase, penalties for early loan redemption, and any outstanding property tax or maintenance.
