3) Compute your CPF contributions


Shows the calculation of CPF contributions of Mr Lim who is 30-year-old driver in 2029 and is using a motorcycle to complete his jobs. He earns $4,000 in the month. To find out Mr Lims' CPF contributions, you will have to take the fixed expense deduction amount (FEDA) for a motorcycle, which is 35%. His net earnings will be calculated by multiplying 65% with $4,000.  Next, you have to find out Mr Lims' applicable CPF contribution rates in 2029, which is a total of 37%. This is broken down into 17% from his platform operator and 20% from Mr Lim. Mr Lim's total CPF contribution will be taking his net earnings of $2,600 and multiply it with 37%., which will be $962. The breakdown of total CPF contributions will be $520 from Mr Lim; $2600 multiply by 20%, and $442 from platform operators, $2,600 multiply by 17%.
