Note: Data are for mid-year. As the income data are captured from a sample survey, the income changes for the 20th percentile nearer the end of the
income spectrum tend to be more volatile over shorter (e.g. year-on-year) than longer periods (e.g. 5 or 10 years).
Income from work includes employer CPF contributions.
1 Refers to income earned from employment. For employees, it refers to the gross wages or salaries before deduction of employee CPF and personal
income tax. It comprises
50thbasic wages, overtime pay, commissions, tips, other allowances and one-twelfth of annual bonuses. For self-employed
persons, gross monthly income refers to the average monthly profits from their business, trade or profession (i.e. total receipts less business
expenses incurred) before deduction of income tax. Data exclude full-time National Servicemen.
Residents refer to Singapore citizens and permanent residents.
Full-time employment refers to employment where the normal hours of work is 35 hours or more in a week.
2 Refers to the household income from work divided by the total number of members in the household. For example, if there is one person in a
household of four who is working, his income is divided by four to derive the income per household member.
3 A resident employed household refers to a household headed by a Singapore citizen or permanent resident and with at least one working person.
