COE results and CPF retirement sums: each now has a step-by-step guide. How a COE works, from bid to renewal, marks where this round is and shows the latest premiums and this month’s PQP; what CPF does with your savings at 55 and after shows this year’s sums and CPF’s payout estimates. Each rule links to the LTA or CPF page it comes from. How a COE works
More on this topic: the other pages on each topic are now cards, each with its latest figure and that figure’s label (the 6-month T-bill, the highest 12-month fixed deposit, COE Cat A), or a line on what the page covers. Pages on the same tracker come first, such as the other banks on a bank’s deposit page. Investing and Referral codes are now in the site menu and on the home page. See an example
New: OCBC dividend. The latest OCBC payout with its last day to buy, ex-date, record date and pay date; what your shares get, with and without the special, and the yield at your own price; OCBC’s S$2.5 billion capital return part by part from its own statements; every payout since 2008 with the 2020 MAS cap explained; the 16 scrip payouts with OCBC’s issue prices and the shares 1,000 held would have got; and OCBC beside DBS and UOB by pay date. OCBC’s own table prints an impossible ex-date for its 2012 final dividend; the page shows the corrected date and the evidence. See OCBC’s dividends
New: DBS dividend. The latest DBS payout with its last day to buy, ex-date, record date and pay date; what your shares get, with the yield at your own price; the capital return to 2027; every payout since FY2001, both as paid and as DBS’s table restates it for the 2024 bonus issue, with a link to the DBS document behind each paid amount since FY2012; the scrip scheme’s history; and how long DBS takes from announcement to cash. See DBS’s dividends
Klook names two currencies for the same referral. The invite page a new user lands on says US$5 off; the referral page in our own Klook account, set to Singapore dollars, says the friend gets a S$5 promo code and we get S$5 back. Our Klook page used to convert the US$5, about S$6.50, when comparing it with card offers; the offer finder now counts S$5, so it can’t flatter our code, and the page shows both figures until a new user tells us which one arrives. Our account has 0 referrals and S$0.00 earned. See both figures
Trip.com promo codes: the offer finder now covers train bookings, with Trip.com’s new-user coupons of 3% off China trains and 5% off Japan trains, and Ending soon lists its Super Brand Day hotel prices in Taiwan and at Hotel Villa Fontaine in Japan, both until 14 November. Try the finder
Klook promo codes, read again on Klook’s own bank pages after 11.11. UOB cardholders get a new code for 25% off Johor Bahru bookings over S$100. UOB’s Japan codes now come out at the start of each month rather than on Tuesdays, and DBS’s Tuesday code covers the DBS TravelLah! Debit Card as well as Chromo, so the picker lists both. OCBC and UOB also run a 7% code for any booking, but both had run out for November when we looked, so they wait for the next restock before going on the page. See the offers
New: Atome referral link for Singapore. The S$10 off a first purchase our invite link gives, a box that lays out what your purchase then costs on every Atome plan, with payment dates, fees and the fee as a yearly rate, plus Atome’s late fees, promo code rules, sign-up requirements and who regulates it, all from Atome’s help centre. See the page
Corrections now sit on the page they correct, not only on our corrections log. A page’s “Changes to this page” lists its own corrections, dated and marked, and pages without such a list, About and Sources among them, show theirs at the foot. Until today 16 pages counted a correction in their “Why trust this” box without showing it, and the fixed deposit and currency hubs counted their bank and currency pages’ corrections as their own; every count now matches the list under it. Every correction
New: foodpanda referral link for Singapore. The S$12 first-order voucher our invite link gives, set beside every new-user and card code on foodpanda’s deals page with its end date, a box that picks the one voucher that takes off most on your order, account, order type and card, and where foodpanda’s app and its older referral terms page disagree. See the page
New: Revolut referral link for Singapore. Who Revolut’s referral reward is really for (the member who sends the link, not you), what the invitation’s four steps cost the person signing up, Revolut’s Singapore lucky-draw odds, when a reward is taken back, a box that runs your month through all four plans’ published fees, and how a Revolut balance is protected. See the page
New: ShopBack referral code for Singapore. What the S$5 sign-up bonus asks of a new user, S$10 of confirmed cashback within 180 days, worked out at 13 store rates read from ShopBack’s pages, with a box that gives the shopping it takes and the last day to buy; what loses the bonus, why store promo codes can cost the cashback, and ShopBack’s 11.11 offer beside its standing terms. See the page
New: SRS account. A calculator for what paying into SRS saves you for YA 2027 and what it costs in tax when you take it out, with a CPF cash top-up beside it; a check of your withdrawal age from the day of your first contribution; a 10-year withdrawal plan; DBS, OCBC and UOB side by side with their current offers; MOF’s figures since 2001; and the sums checked against 15 of IRAS’s and the banks’ worked examples. See the page
New: Singapore dividend calendar. Every announced payout we can read from the companies’ and trusts’ own investor pages, with the last day to buy for each (two market days before the ex-date), what’s paying in the next 30 days, a box that adds up a year of payouts for the shares you hold and a calendar feed for them. Each payout links to the page it came from; a changed amount or date is held for a person to check. See the page
Our privacy page now covers the dividend calendar: the holdings you type stay in your browser and in the link’s # part, which isn’t sent to us, except when you add the calendar feed, whose address carries them so your calendar app can fetch it. Privacy
New: YouTrip referral link for Singapore. The S$5 each side gets once a new user tops up, why that credit can be spent but never withdrawn, why invite links run out after 60 days, every fee in YouTrip’s terms, the card-expiry refund deadline, and a box that sets a trip’s fees beside Revolut’s free plan and a bank card. See the page
New: Kris+ referral code for Singapore. The 500 KrisPay miles a code pays (not the 750 older posts quote) stay in the app and can’t reach KrisFlyer; the four transactions that unlock them; which of the wallet’s five kinds of miles can be moved to KrisFlyer, and the 21-day deadline; and a box that dates it all from today. See the page
New: Trust Bank referral code for Singapore. What a code actually gets you, whose S$8,000 the headlines are quoting, the six amounts behind Trust’s “sure-win” card gift, the app’s no-fee travel rates checked against MAS’s, and what the Flex plan’s 2.40% asks of you. See the page

Look up rents by project, street, district and bedrooms; see what a unit like yours would rent for, with how far off it was when tested on three months of real leases, and its gross yield; rents by region each quarter, by bedrooms and by district.

See HLF’s rates
New: Tiger Brokers referral code for Singapore. What the US$190 in vouchers is worth after the trading fees needed to use them, why a higher-level member’s code pays more than ours, and the deadlines that decide the reward. See the page
New: Trip.com referral and promo codes for Singapore. Our invite code for Trip.com’s new-user Welcome Pack, the public first-booking codes, which weekday each bank card’s code is released, and a box that finds the biggest listed saving on a booking. See the page

See today’s rate
Site footer: every page now shows how the figures are kept up: how many automatic jobs read the agencies and banks, when the latest read was, how many checks by hand are booked and whether any is late, and how many corrections we have made public. It turns amber and says so if reads stop or a check is late. The footer also lists the next three dates to know, each with an add-to-calendar button, and names the company that publishes the site (with its UEN) and its editor. See the update schedule
New: SGD to PHP and PHP to SGD.

On phones, one Menu button lists every topic. The search box now suggests pages as you type, including short forms such as FD, SSB, COE and ABSD. Open the menu

Electricity tariff: the chart of the tariff’s four parts had a gap from 2022, where EMA’s yearly series ends. It now runs to Oct to Dec 2026 from SP Group’s own figures for every quarter, read from Internet Archive copies of SP’s releases and tariff page, each checked against SP’s published total. A new quarterly view and table show the energy cost peaking at 25.50¢ a kWh in Jul to Sep 2026, while the network cost stayed between 5.77¢ and 6.46¢. Electricity tariff
OCBC fixed deposits: OCBC’s site has turned our reader away since 3 Nov, so we read its promotion and board rate pages ourselves in a browser on 8 Nov. All 112 rates matched our 2 Nov read (promotion 1.85% online for 12 months, S$20,000+), so the page now dates them 8 Nov and says the read was by hand. We will re-read them every week while the block lasts. OCBC fixed deposit rates
Fixed deposit rates: a new grid shows every bank’s best rate at 1, 3, 6, 9, 12, 18 and 24 months, shaded light to dark. At 13 of the 15 banks the best rate is for 6 to 12 months; only HL Bank and GXS pay more to lock in for longer. A second new chart plots the top 6 and 12-month rates from each of our own reads since 24 Oct 2026. Fixed deposit rates
T-bills: a new chart shows how much demand each 6-month auction drew. Bids averaged 2.04 times the amount on offer at the 26 auctions since Nov 2025, from 1.66 on 4 Jun 2026 to 2.45 on 4 Nov 2026, with a second view of how far the cut-off sat above the median bid. T-bills

Singapore Savings Bonds: a new chart sets this month’s bond against last month’s, year by year. SBDEC26 starts at 1.83% and pays less than SBNOV26 in 8 of the 10 years, more only in year 1. Singapore Savings Bonds

SORA: a new chart turns 3-month SORA into the monthly payment on a S$500,000, 25-year loan at SORA plus 0.80%. Since 2005 it ranged from $1,848 (Apr 2012) to $2,794 (Nov 2023), $946 a month apart; at today’s SORA it is $2,150. SORA
UOB fixed deposits: a new chart follows S$50,000 over three 12-month terms, left to renew at UOB’s board rate or moved to the promotion each time: $1,850 of interest against $3,150. The method section now says how UOB’s own page is read, instead of repeating the whole fixed deposit method. UOB fixed deposit rates
Maybank fixed deposits: a new worked example splits the Deposits Bundle into its two parts, S$100,000 at 2.40% plus S$10,000 in savings at 0.05%: S$2,405 on S$110,000, 2.19% a year, which matches the effective rate Maybank publishes. The method now says which 5 of its 45 rates we check by hand. Maybank fixed deposit rates
DBS fixed deposits: a new chart shows 12 months’ interest at DBS’s board rate for every total from S$5,000 to S$40,000. S$19,999 earns $200; at S$20,000 the rate drops to 0.05% and it earns $10, and the total has to reach about S$400,000 before the interest is back to $200. DBS fixed deposit rates
Where to put your cash: four questions now lead to an answer on S$20,000 (CPF money, SRS money, how soon you might need it, how long you can leave it), each step opening the calculator with that case filled in. Where to put your cash
Chocolate Finance: a new chart puts the gap in dollars. S$20,000 shows a Ledger Balance of S$20,440 after a year at 2.20%, against S$20,372 from the funds at the 1.86% T-bill stand-in, with what happens to the gap if you withdraw, if withdrawals are suspended, or if the offer ends.

Singapore interest rates hub: a new chart answers whether locking money away pays more, with the best S$ rate for each length from next day to 10 years. Today 10 years in a Savings Bond averages 2.39% a year against 2.30% for a 1-year fixed deposit. The CPF pages’ quick answers, checks and changes now show on the CPF hub only, instead of on both. Singapore interest rates
The Singapore in numbers hub now opens with the population and births at a glance: the latest year beside ten years before and 1990, so the fertility rate falling from 1.83 in 1990 to 0.87 sits next to the median age rising from 29.8 to 43.6. Each row links to the section that explains it. Singapore at a glance

Searching “the tax rate for 2023” could mean YA 2023 or income earned in 2023, which IRAS taxes at different rates. The income tax rates page now answers both, band by band, with the rebate for every year IRAS’s pages give, and a chart of your top rate against your average: at $100,000 of chargeable income the next dollar is taxed at 11.5%, the whole at 5.65%. Rates by year
The income tax calculator’s “How much tax on $5,000 a month?” now has a number: about $1,320 for YA 2027 with a one-month bonus, worked out by the calculator itself, not a pointer to the rates page. The $5,000 answer
The take-home pay calculator now shows where each dollar goes at nine salaries, from $2,000 to $20,000. Up to $8,000 a month CPF takes a fixed fifth; past that ceiling only tax grows, so a $20,000 earner keeps 81.6% against 76.8% at $8,000. Where pay goes
The average salary page’s 14 doctors’ rows now carry a note: MOM surveys private firms, so doctors in public hospitals or their own practice aren’t in these figures. The doctors’ rows

Each loan in the business loan requirements cost table now has a bar beside it: the same $100,000 over 3 years costs $9,519 in interest at DBS (its fee isn’t published) and $21,155 in interest and fees at UOB. Cost by lender
The tax hub now opens with income tax for YA 2027 at eight monthly salaries, from $207 a year at $3,000 to $28,484 at $20,000, beside the tax-free band, the 24% top rate, the $80,000 relief cap and whether YA 2027 has a rebate. Tax at a glance

SGD to CNY: the highest and lowest rates now count from January 1994. SingStat’s figure for June 1993 (RMB 6.5488 for S$1) is far above every month since, so it stays in the chart, the year table and the CSV but is no longer shown as the record high. See the yuan over the years

Company record, Outside mentions: added WifiTalents’ sustainable software list, which ranks the GreenCalculus SCI Calculator 1st of 10, “Best overall”. We quote its note that vendors in the list co-funded it (GreenCalculus did not pay toward it) and say that it was first published the same day as Gitnux’s list, with similar funding wording, so the two are not separate judgments. See the outside mentions
Fixed deposit rates: RHB’s fixed deposit promotion is now listed (1.60%, 2.00% and 2.10% for 3, 6 and 12 months from S$20,000; up to 2.20% for RHB Premier).

SGD to INR now uses MAS’s own noon rate for the rupee, each working day since January 2006. Our job had been refusing MAS’s rupee figures because its sanity check started at 30 rupees for S$1, and S$1 bought about 27 in 2006, so the page showed the European Central Bank’s rate instead (74.2781 for 30 October, against MAS’s 74.5601). The ECB’s rate stays as the cross-check and the stand-in when MAS’s site can’t be read. See SGD to INR

New: T-bill rates and auction results. The latest 6-month and 1-year cut-off yields from MAS, what you would get back on your amount, the next auctions with calendar reminders, and every result since 1987 as a chart and a CSV. Checked against MAS four times every afternoon. See T-bill rates
New: Singapore Savings Bond rates. This month’s rates from MAS year by year, our estimate of next month’s with how close the same method has been on past issues, whether switching an SSB you hold pays, who got what, and every issue since 2015 as a chart and a CSV. Checked against MAS twice every evening. See Savings Bond rates
New: T-bill calculator. What you pay, get back and earn at the latest MAS cut-off yield by cash, SRS or CPF; how much to apply for; whether a bid would have been filled at the last 12 auctions; any auction since 1987; two 6-month T-bills or one 1-year; and CPF OA or T-bill, counting the OA interest given up and the bank charges. Its formula gives MAS’s published price for all 341 auctions since 1987. Open the T-bill calculator
New: SSB calculator. Every interest payment and date for any Savings Bond since 2015 or next month’s estimated one, including the shorter first payment and what you get back if you redeem early; all the SSBs you hold in one view, with when the interest comes, room left under the $200,000 limit, which to redeem first and whether switching pays; buying one every month; and SSB against T-bills and CPF OA. Its sums give MAS’s published returns for all 1,340 issue-and-year figures. Open the SSB calculator

Every page checked on phones, tablets and desktops from 320 to 1920 pixels wide, in Chrome and Safari. Fixed: the home page was slightly wider than the smallest phones, one Savings Bond table was a little too wide on them, and pages no longer jump as their fonts load. Small labels are a little larger. The numbers are the same.
