As living costs climb across Singapore, the government is stepping in with one of its strongest cost-of-living support packages yet. At the heart of this 2025 plan is the Singapore $760 Relief Payout, a major boost for HDB households struggling with rising electricity, gas, and water bills.
Here’s the thing — unlike one-off payments, this support will come quarterly, easing pressure throughout the year. And the best part? You don’t need to apply for it. The rebates will automatically be credited into your SP Services account, reducing your utility charges directly.
What Exactly Is the $760 Relief Payout?
This payout is part of the Assurance Package (AP) and Cost-of-Living (COL) measures. It’s an enhanced version of the U-Save rebate, designed to help households manage higher energy and water costs due to carbon taxes and price adjustments.
In 2025, smaller HDB flats will receive up to $760 in total rebates — almost double the usual amount. Here’s a quick look at the new rates:
| HDB Flat Type | Quarterly Rebate (Apr–Jan) | Total FY 2025 |
|---|---|---|
| 1- & 2-room | $190 | $760 |
| 3-room | $170 | $680 |
| 4-room | $150 | $600 |
| 5-room | $130 | $520 |
| Executive / Multi-gen | $110 | $440 |
This tiered approach ensures that families in smaller flats—who often face the hardest financial strain—get the largest support.
Who Qualifies for the Relief?
The payout is meant for households living in HDB flats, not private properties. To qualify:
- At least one Singaporean citizen must live in the flat (as owner, tenant, or occupier).
- If the flat is fully rented out, at least one tenant must be Singaporean.
- Households owning more than one property are not eligible.
This ensures that relief flows directly to lower- and middle-income families, not higher-income property owners.
When Will Payments Arrive?
The rebates will be credited in four rounds — in April 2025, July 2025, October 2025, and January 2026. Each installment combines regular U-Save rebates with additional COL or Assurance Package top-ups.
Instead of receiving cash, households will see automatic reductions in their utility bills, helping them manage expenses more steadily through the year.
Bonus Support: $800 in CDC Vouchers
In addition to utility relief, households will also receive $800 in CDC vouchers:
- $500 in May 2025 (valid till Dec 2025)
- $300 in Jan 2026 (valid till Dec 2026)
These vouchers can be used at hawker centres, supermarkets, and local shops — helping families save on food and daily essentials.
Why This Matters
The Singapore $760 Relief Payout 2025 isn’t just another financial aid measure — it’s a lifeline for thousands of families facing persistent inflation. By combining utility rebates with food and essentials vouchers, the government is providing sustained, practical relief that touches daily life where it matters most.
If you’re living in an HDB flat, you don’t need to do anything — the help is already on its way.
