In June 2025, Singaporeans can expect another wave of financial relief as part of the Government’s ongoing Assurance Package and enhanced Cost-of-Living (COL) Support measures. With the rising cost of everyday essentials such as food, transport, healthcare, and utilities, the government has confirmed a one-off cash payout of up to S$1,450, targeted at lower- and middle-income households.
This automatic payment—requiring no application—is intended to provide quick and direct assistance to those most affected by inflation, demonstrating the state’s continued commitment to maintaining household resilience and social stability.

Singapore Conforms $1,450 June 2025 Cash Payout
The S$1,450 payout is part of a broader initiative under Budget 2025, which includes various schemes such as the GST Voucher, CDC Vouchers, and U-Save Rebates. The aim is to ease the financial strain on households as the global economy continues to present uncertainty and inflationary pressures persist domestically.
These payments will be automatically credited to eligible Singaporeans, with no application needed, and are expected to land in bank accounts starting from late June 2025.
Eligibility Criteria
Eligibility is based on a combination of factors, including annual income, type of housing, and citizenship status. The support primarily targets:
- Singapore Citizens aged 21 and above
- Earning less than S$100,000 annually
- Not owning more than one property
- Residing in HDB flats (especially 1- to 5-room units)
Those living in private properties or with higher incomes may still receive partial benefits under other schemes, but are less likely to receive the full amount.
The final payout amount will depend on which portions of the Assurance Package and COL Support the individual qualifies for. For instance, someone eligible for the GST Voucher Cash, Assurance Package Cash, and CDC Vouchers may receive the full S$1,450.
Breakdown
Support Component | Estimated Amount (S$) |
---|---|
Assurance Package Cash | $600–$850 |
GST Voucher Cash | $450 |
CDC Vouchers | $250–$300 |
Total (Maximum Possible) | Up to $1,450 |
Exact amounts may vary based on individual eligibility.
Payment Timeline
Disbursement of the funds is scheduled to begin in the last week of June 2025. While the majority of recipients will receive the money promptly, some variation in timing can occur due to:

Payments will be made through:
- PayNow (linked via NRIC)

Why the June 2025 Payout Matters
Singapore’s cost of living remains a top concern, especially for families with children, seniors, and low-wage workers. The mid-year payout acts as a bridge of relief during a financially intense period often marked by:
- School-related expenses
- Rising energy bills in mid-year
- Annual healthcare needs and insurance renewals
It complements earlier payouts and continues the government’s pledge to buffer citizens from inflation-related impacts.
This payout also coincides with other measures, such as:
- U-Save utility rebates
- S&CC (Service and Conservancy Charges) rebates
- Additional MediSave top-ups for seniors
