Why your sale price is not your payout

When you sell a property in Singapore, the sale price is only the starting point. Before anything reaches your bank account, the money settles your outstanding home loan, refunds your CPF, and covers the costs of selling — agent commission, legal fees, and for recent purchases of private property, Seller's Stamp Duty.

The CPF refund — the part everyone forgets

Every dollar of CPF you used for the property, plus the interest it would have earned had it stayed in your account (called accrued interest, compounding at 2.5% a year), must go back into your CPF Ordinary Account when you sell. This is not money lost — it is still yours, and fully usable for your next home — but it is not cash. Sellers who plan renovations, or the cash portion of their next downpayment, around the headline figure often get a surprise. That is why this calculator shows cash proceeds and CPF proceeds separately.

Seller's Stamp Duty after July 2025

If you bought a private property on or after 4 July 2025, SSD now applies for four years, at 16% if you sell within the first year, stepping down to 4% in the fourth. Properties bought between March 2017 and 3 July 2025 keep the old three-year schedule of 12%, 8% and 4%. HDB owners rarely meet SSD because the Minimum Occupation Period outlasts it.

What is a “negative sale”?

If your loan plus CPF refund exceeds your sale price, the sale is “negative” — little or no cash comes out. Provided you sell at market value, you generally do not have to top up the CPF shortfall in cash, but it changes what your next move can look like. If your numbers land anywhere near that line, it is worth a proper conversation before you list.
