The DPS is a Life Insurance + Terminal Illness Insurance + Total Disability Insurance.
It ensures you until you reach age 60.
The premiums are paid via your CPF account (Ordinary Account or Special Account).
Age (as of last birthday) Yearly Premiums
34 years & below $36
35 - 39 $48
40 - 44 $84
45 - 49 $144
50 - 54 $228
55 - 59 $260

By reducing your coverage by $46,000, you could potentially be saving between $75-$100 annually on your insurance premiums. That is actually a pretty significant sum you can use for other purposes like going out for a nice meal!

Singaporeans tend to face the issue of being over-insured or under-insured.
We hope that this article can help make you better insured!
