If you think of medicine career as a business you have to look at some metrics.
I notice the doctors here like to make things a bit vague for whatever reasons.

Whether or not the weekday and weekend hours are at different rates matters when you are considering taking on those slots. But on average that's what I got.

For that poster GP who has afternoons off his overall hourly rate is $107.93

Yes I left out CPF. And you conveniently did not elaborate on how much that is - giving vagary once more.

CPF contributions are calculated on a max of $6000 a month wages. 17% Employer contribution = $1020 a month. Employee contributes 20% of their wages (on max of $6000) =$1200 a month.

Hence the additional employer CPF contribution assuming the same poster GP is doing locum with the same clinic is an additional $1020 per month = $12,240 p.a

This would make his total annual income to be $236,740

His hourly rate for the 2080h worked is thus $113.82

Other than monthly ordinary wage ceiling,
His year end bonus also counted as additional wages up to (combined total of wages ceiling of 102k will attract 17% CPF)

Op prob didn’t max out his ceiling CPF due to the low bonus

However this is set to change, in sep ow ceiling will progressively rise
Reaching 8k in 2026.

That seems quite a lot higher than the market locum rates.

Recently a ED con told me he is earning 20k/month with all the allowances. what allowances is those?

I am currently a HO, reading through the threads, there are people saying MO will get clinical allowance of $500 regardless whether we pass the mrcp/mrcs/mrcog. Is this true?

Yes. I can confirm that is true. Getting post graduate degree will not give you additional allowance.
