Other help with premiums

  • Merdeka Generation: an extra 5% from 60 to 75 and 10% from 76, on top of Premium Subsidies, whatever your income.
  • Pioneer Generation: 40% to 60% by age, whatever your income or home.
  • Additional Premium Support: for families who still cannot pay after subsidies and MediSave. It is assessed case by case, so there is no rate to calculate.
  • If you have an Integrated Shield Plan, MediShield Life is part of it and your insurer tells you the full premium.

Worked example

A citizen aged 35 next birthday lives in a household of 4 earning S$8,000 a month, so S$2,000 per person, in an HDB flat with an annual value of S$15,000. The premium is S$503. The subsidy for ages 31 to 40 at that income is 20%, or S$100.60, so the yearly premium is S$402.40, all payable from MediSave.

CPF's own example: a Merdeka Generation senior aged 70 next birthday has a S$1,100 premium and a S$32 rebate, so S$1,068 before subsidies. A 35% Premium Subsidy and 5% Merdeka subsidy take off S$427.20, leaving S$640.80.

Frequently asked questions

It depends on your age next birthday. From 1 Apr 2025 the yearly premium, including GST, runs from S$200 for ages 1 to 20 and S$503 for 31 to 40, to S$1,326 for 66 to 70 and S$2,826 above 90, before subsidies.

Households with a monthly income per person of S$3,600 or less, living in a home with an annual value of S$31,000 or less, and owning no more than one property. Citizens get 15% to 60% depending on age and income, or 10 percentage points less (5% to 50%) if the home's annual value is S$21,001 to S$31,000. PRs get half the citizen rate.

Add the gross monthly income of everyone in the household and divide by the number of family members. A household of 4 earning S$8,000 has S$2,000 per person.

Yes. Up to S$21,000 you get the full subsidy rate. From S$21,001 to S$31,000 you get 10 percentage points less. Above S$31,000 there is no Premium Subsidy.

Merdeka Generation seniors get an extra 5% from 60 to 75 next birthday and 10% from 76, on top of Premium Subsidies. Pioneers get 40% to 60% depending on age. Both apply whatever your income or home.

Yes. The premium can be paid in full from MediSave.

If you have a listed serious pre-existing condition, such as cancer or a past stroke, you pay 30% more for the first 10 years. After that you pay the standard premium for your age.

An Integrated Shield Plan includes the MediShield Life part, and your insurer tells you your full premium. This calculator covers only the MediShield Life part.

How we calculate this

  1. The premium comes from CPF Board's table for policy years from 1 April 2025, by your age next birthday. It includes GST. Source: CPF Board: MediShield Life premium table from 1 Apr 2025 (PDF)
  2. Citizens' Premium Subsidies depend on household monthly income per person, which is total household income divided by the number of people, and the age band. There is a rate for income per person up to S$1,500, for S$1,501 to S$2,600 and for S$2,601 to S$3,600. Source: CPF Board: Premium Subsidies from 1 Apr 2025 (PDF)
  3. A home annual value of S$21,001 to S$31,000 takes 10 points off that rate. Above S$31,000, or with more than one property, there is no subsidy. PRs get half the citizen rate. Source: MOH: MediShield Life premium and subsidy tables, 10 points less for annual value S$21,001 to S$31,000 (updated 1 Oct 2025, checked 5 Oct 2026)
  4. From age 66 to 90 an indicative premium rebate applies, set by the age your cover began. MOH's tables differ for people born before 1950, so the calculator asks for your birth year when it cannot tell. Source: MOH: premium rebates by age of entry, tables for those born before 1950 and from 1950 (updated 2 May 2025, checked 5 Oct 2026)
  5. The order follows CPF Board: the premium, plus a 30% Additional Premium for a serious pre-existing condition in the first 10 years, minus the rebate, gives the premium before subsidies. The Premium Subsidy and any Merdeka Generation percentage then come off it, or the Pioneer Generation percentage on its own.

Rounding

Each amount is rounded to the cent, as in CPF Board's worked examples. The premium is payable from MediSave.

Worked example: the default case

  1. A citizen aged 35 next birthday lives in a household of 4 earning S$8,000 a month, in a home with an annual value of S$15,000. The household owns one property, and no generation package or pre-existing condition applies.
  2. Premium for ages 31 to 40: S$503.
  3. Income per person: S$8,000 / 4 = S$2,000, in the S$1,501 to S$2,600 band. The annual value is under S$21,001, so the rate is not cut.
  4. Premium Subsidy for ages 31 to 40 in that band: 20%, so S$503 x 20% = S$100.60.
  5. No rebate applies before 66.
  6. You pay S$503 - S$100.60 = S$402.40 a year.

What this calculator does not cover

  • Phased Support from the MediShield Life Fund for two policy years from 1 April 2025. MOH does not publish the amount per person.
  • Additional Premium Support, which is decided case by case.
  • Integrated Shield Plan premiums, which insurers set.
  • Your exact rebate. The figure here is indicative.
