Ministry of Finance (SRS caps and relief); IRAS (SRS withdrawals, resident income tax rates from YA 2024); retirement ages by first contribution as published. Checked 8 Oct 2026. Tax at today’s resident rates without one-off rebates; income and contributions held level in today’s dollars; growth illustrative, before fees. The account and withdrawals are in future dollars but taxed on today’s bands, which overstates the tax coming out. General information for discussion, not a recommendation; it does not account for your full objectives, financial situation or needs. Thomas Chai, CFP.
