How much you take home

There is no official net pay data for Singapore that we can use: taxes depend on where you live and on your situation. Ask the employer for a net estimate with the offer.

The salary and the Employment Pass (2026)

  • 5,600 SGD a month — minimum qualifying salary (financial services: S$6,200). It rises with age, up to S$10,700 at 45, and rises again for new applications from 1 January 2027 (from S$6,000).

Enter the salary above to check.

Gross per month, without the holiday allowance: we divide the annual salary by 12.

Official thresholds

Do you need a visa?

Yes, for every nationality. Skilled professionals usually work on an Employment Pass:

  • The employer applies to the Ministry of Manpower (MOM), for a job with at least the qualifying salary shown above, which rises with age.
  • Applications are also assessed by points (COMPASS): salary, qualifications, and the employer's diversity and local hiring.
  • Your family can come with a Dependant's Pass, if your salary reaches the level required for it.
  • For very high earners there is the ONE Pass, not tied to one employer.

MOM: Employment Pass

Documents and where to get them

In your country, before you leave

  • Passport, valid for the whole move; the visa is issued in the passport.
  • Birth certificate (and marriage certificate, if married). Usually with an apostille (or legalisation) and a certified translation; check with the embassy.
  • Criminal record certificate from your country of nationality and, if different, from where you lived recently: visa applications often require it. Request it close to the date it will be used.
  • Degree, transcript and references from previous jobs, digitally, with certified translations if the visa asks for them.

In Singapore

  • Employment Pass card: issued after you arrive, once the employer completes the steps with MOM (photo and fingerprints).
  • Singpass: the digital ID for government services and taxes.
  • Income tax: not withheld from each salary for most employees; you file once a year and pay IRAS directly.

Step by step

Before you leave

  1. Confirm in writing the monthly salary in Singapore dollars, bonuses, the start date and the relocation support, including housing.
  2. Wait for the in-principle approval letter from MOM, which lets you enter for work.
  3. Housing is expensive: a deposit of one or two months' rent is usual.
  4. In your country, tell the authorities you are moving: update your registered address and your tax residence. In the year you leave, tax may be due for the part of the year you were still resident.

First week

  1. Complete the Employment Pass steps with your employer (registration of photo and fingerprints).
  2. Open a bank account and give the details to your employer.

First month

  1. Set up your Singpass.
  2. Set aside part of your salary for the yearly income tax.
