Net Proceeds Calculator Singapore

Quick answer: Your sale price is never the number you take home. Enter your expected sale price, outstanding loan, CPF used and purchase date, and this tool itemises every deduction, loan payoff, Seller Stamp Duty if you are still inside the window, CPF refund with accrued interest, agent commission and legal fees, to show your estimated cash proceeds, with the CPF refund shown separately since it returns to your CPF account, not your bank account.

The question every seller actually wants answered is how much cash reaches the bank. This tool runs the full stack for HDB flats and private property: outstanding loan, Seller Stamp Duty where it applies, CPF refund with accrued interest, agent commission and legal fees. It is a planning estimate from the figures you enter, not a completion statement.

Total CPF Ordinary Account savings withdrawn for this property, downpayment plus instalments. Check your exact figure on CPF Online Services before you list.

Typical range: 1% to 2%, billed on completion, plus 9% GST. Winfred's seller representation fee is 2% (see the full pricing breakdown).

Typical range: S$2,500 to S$4,000 for a standard completion. Confirm with your conveyancing lawyer.

How to read this result

  • The CPF refund is your own money returned to your own CPF account, it is a real deduction from your cash, but it is not a fee or a loss.
  • HDB flats are exempt from Seller Stamp Duty. Private property carries SSD only if you sell within the window from your purchase date, 4 years for purchases from 4 July 2025, 3 years for purchases before that date.
  • This estimate does not include any market valuation gap, mortgage penalty for early redemption, or CPF Retirement Account top up rules that apply from age 55. Confirm those with your bank, your lawyer and CPF Board.

Figures are estimates for planning purposes only, from the numbers you enter and standard IRAS, HDB and CPF Board rates and formulas as reported on this site. This is not financial or legal advice. Verify with a proper valuation, your conveyancing lawyer and CPF Board before listing.

Frequently asked questions

How is my net proceeds figure calculated?

Net proceeds equal your expected sale price minus five deductions: the outstanding loan balance, Seller Stamp Duty if you are still inside the SSD window, the CPF refund (principal plus accrued interest), agent commission plus GST, and legal fees. The result is the cash that actually reaches your bank account.

Why does my CPF refund reduce my cash proceeds if it is my own money?

CPF Ordinary Account savings used for the property, principal plus 2.5% accrued interest compounding annually from the date each sum was withdrawn, must be refunded to your CPF account before you receive any cash. It is not lost, it goes back into your own CPF, but it does not land in your bank account, which is why this calculator shows it separately from your cash proceeds.

Do I have to pay Seller Stamp Duty when I sell my HDB flat?

No. HDB flats are exempt from Seller Stamp Duty, the 5 year Minimum Occupation Period already serves that anti flipping function. Seller Stamp Duty applies only to private residential property sold within the SSD window: 4 years (16/12/8/4%) for property bought on or after 4 July 2025, or 3 years (12/8/4%) for property bought before that date.

How much should I budget for agent commission and legal fees?

Seller representation typically runs 1% to 2% of the sale price plus 9% GST, billed only on completion. Legal fees for a standard completion typically run S$2,500 to S$4,000. Confirm both with your appointed agent and conveyancing lawyer before you list.

Is this net proceeds figure exact enough to plan my next purchase?

Treat it as a planning estimate, not a completion statement. It uses the figures you enter and standard rates and formulas; your actual CPF refund, exact legal fees and any market valuation adjustment can only be confirmed by CPF Board, your lawyer, and HDB or your buyer's bank. Run the exact numbers with Winfred before you commit to a sale price or your next purchase.
