What Does Singapore Really Earn? | Singapore By the Numbers | Sam & Ben EP02
📍 Islandwide
Auntie says everyone in Singapore earns $20,000 a month. We checked SingStat. 👀
📌 Median monthly household income, 2025 (SingStat)
– Per household: $12,446, up 7.7% (6.8% after inflation)
– Per household member: $4,160, up 8.4%
– 2023: $11,130 · 2024: $11,558 · 2025: $12,446
💡 Median means the middle: half of households earn more, half earn less. And it includes employer CPF, so take-home pay is lower.
🏠 For HDB flats and new ECs, your monthly loan repayment can't be more than 30% of your income (MSR).
