Income Thresholds (Effective January 2026)
| Criterion | 2026 threshold |
| Gross Household Income (GHI) | ≤ S$4,000/month |
| Per-Capita Income (PCI) | ≤ S$1,000/month |
You qualify if you meet either the GHI or the PCI threshold.
Note: Prior to January 2026, the thresholds were GHI ≤ S$3,000 and PCI ≤ S$750. The January 2026 update raised both thresholds - more families now qualify. If you were previously ineligible, re-check against the new figures.
How to compute PCI: Total gross monthly household income ÷ number of household members at the same address (including the student and non-working members).
