Here’s a look at what you can expect from this nifty tool.
‘Support For You Calculator’ can compute benefits you may receive based on personal info
The ‘Support For You Calculator’ can compute the amount a Singaporean is eligible to receive after they’ve filled in some information.
The three main fields of information required are:
- Age
- Accessible income
- Property information
The calculator will then generate the estimated benefits they are eligible for on an individual and household basis.
It can also estimate the benefits an individual and their household are eligible for up to 2027.

The calculator also clearly indicates the breakdown of the benefits, so individuals can know where each payout comes from and when they will receive it.
