Clarification & Example: New Singapore PR Rate Effective Date

Swingvy automatically applies the correct CPF rate for each year of PR status, based on the PR effective date in the employee's profile.

For an employee who became a PR on 14 August 2025, CPF's rules work out as follows:

  • 1st year: 14 Aug 2025 – 31 Aug 2026
  • 2nd year: 1 Sep 2026 – 31 Aug 2027 (so the 2nd-year rate applies from the September 2026 payroll)
  • 3rd year onwards: 1 Sep 2027 – full rates (F/F)

Note:

Swingvy applies full employer & full employee rates for 3rd-year and above Singapore PRs, rather than the value set in the HR Hub > People > Directory > select employee > Statutory details > Employee rate type
