Go on then, name these "resources" that state what you described about not factoring in CPF.

Employee CPF: $1,200
Take home salary: $8,800

Employer CPF: $1,020

Annual bonus: $20,000 (For simplicity, I'm going to pretend there is no CPF on this bonus)

Does this mean his total income is calculated as:

A) $10,000 x 12 = $120,000

B) ($10,000 x 12) + $20,000 = $140,000

C) ($10,000 x 12) + ($1,020 x 12) + $20,000 = $152,240

D) $8,800 x 12 = $105,600

E) ($8,800 x 12) + $20,000 = $125,600

Which value (A to E) is correct?
I think you should use (B), which is what your employer would submit to IRAS as your assessable income.

This tool uses YA2022 data published by IRAS. And the data is about "assessable income", which is the income you report to IRAS when you file tax. In other words, it should not include CPF. It's all gross income.

For example, my case for YA2022 would be:

Gross salary from day job filed by employer in auto-inclusion scheme -- $102,000
Rental income with 15% assumed expense -- $24,480
Total = $126,480

Cpf cannot be immediately liquidated and used.

Do we input assessable income from 2023 or 2022?
