If you would like to do the calculation offline, you can download the Household Benefits Template - which contains a benefits table and a matrix to help you fill up and compute the total amount of benefits your household may receive in calendar year 2008^*.

  

The benefits that you might receive include the Growth Dividends, additional Post-Secondary Education Account (PSEA) top-ups, Medisave Account top-ups and Personal Income Tax rebates which were announced during Budget 2008 as part of the Government's effort to share part of its surplus with all Singaporeans, in view of the good economic performance and strong fiscal position in Fiscal Year 2007 (Apr 07 - Mar 08). The calculator will also include benefits from the $4 billion GST Offset Package introduced in Budget 2007 to help Singaporeans cope with the increase in GST (over a five-year period) and the Workfare Income Supplement (WIS) scheme introduced to supplement the wages and savings of workers to increase their take-home pay and increase the employability of lower wage workers.

A larger portion of the benefits will be distributed to older Singaporeans and the lower and middle income groups, with certain top-ups directed towards helping Singaporeans with their education and healthcare needs.
