https://sg.finance.yahoo.com/news/much-earn-above-singapore-average-000031337.html How much do you need to earn to be above Singapore’s “average”? Forbes has named Singapore as the third richest country in the world. This wealth is measured using the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per capita. Simplistically, it adds up everyone’s income for the year – to obtain GDP – before dividing it by the country’s population. So how much should the “average” Singaporean be making based on this calculation? Read More: Singapore, world’s richest. At what cost? The golden number is $5,943! At end-2014, Singapore’s GDP was recorded at SGD390.1 billion with population size of 5.47 million (Singapore residents + foreign talents). Table 1: National Accounts and Population in Singapore FY2011 FY2012 FY2013 FY2014 GDP(SGD mils) SGD 346,354 SGD 362,333 SGD 378,200 SGD 390,089 Population (mils) 5.18 5.31 5.40 5.47 GDP per Person SGD 66,816 SGD 68,205 SGD 70,048 SGD 71,318 Income per month SGD 5,568 SGD 5,684 SGD 5,837 SGD 5,943 Source: Singapore Department of Statistics Since simplistic GDP means adding up everyone’s income for the year, we will also assume that CPF contributions are included into this number. Add your gross salary (take home salary + CPF contribution) to your employer’s CPF contribution. If this number is not greater than SGD5,943, you are below the average amongst our population. Is $5,943 the correct number as the average wage? As mentioned, GDP per capita is a simple method to define how rich a country is by understanding how much everyone in the population earns per annum. However, using the entire population is not a good gauge, as children, students and retirees are not working, and hence should be excluded from the calculation. Table 2: National Accounts and Labour Force in Singapore FY2011 FY2012 FY2013 FY2014 GDP (SGD mils) SGD 346,354 SGD 362,333 SGD 378,200 SGD 390,089 Labour Force (mils) 3.24 3.36 3.44 3.53 GDP per Worker SGD 106,995 SGD 107,779 SGD 109,824 SGD 110,482 Income per month SGD 8,916 SGD 8,982 SGD 9,152 SGD 9,207 Note: The labour force comprises of people who are working or seeking work Source: Comprehensive Labour Force Survey, Ministry of Manpower Using labour force instead of total population will be more accurate since we are basing our calculation only on those who are working. In this case, average wages inclusive of CPF contribution would be SGD9,207 per month per person. So what are your numbers telling me? If you are like us, then this number may appear exceedingly high to you, perhaps even unattainable. Do not worry, you’re not alone. The median salary in Singapore is SGD3,770. That means the majority of us are not earning the average. This is normal, as wages are usually skewed towards the higher income earners and thus medium hardly ever equates to mean. What you should make out of this number is that you have the potential to increase your wages. Unlike poorer countries, where your future growth in earnings would be easily capped by the low potential in the country, we do not lack this in Singapore. There is money to be made, somewhere and somehow, in Singapore. You just need to figure our where and how. If you require upgrading and improvements, do check out skillsfuture to see how can our government help you achieve better productivity and higher wage growth.

Cute4ever.com is officially launched in December 2008 Apparently Yahoo Auction Sillypore closed down Is this new site OK very few items available recommendations please

. Really take my hat off to tis person for the courage to put in on the net

http://newpaper.asia1.com.sg/news/story/0,...,159924,00.html? should sillyporeans continue paying CEO and senior management million dollar salary through our hard earn taxes while they keep loosing billions of our precious resources (CPF money) furthermore there is no transparency we do not even know at the end of each day we are plus or minus territory even our late president complain but apparent many become suddenly selectively deaf what you do think

1. Most wanted "dead or alive" terrorist - escaped from prison while pee-pee. The guards may be too distracted by his limping "leg" seen only when in high motion. 2. Increase GST from 5% to 7% - even thought a lousy no good third grade economist even agree that inflation will be rising and rising this year, 3. CBD, no stopping for taxis except for taxi stands - if this is the atitude the policy makers are proceeding, then perhaps we have to start singing.... all my bags are pack and I waiting to go...... I am leaving on a jetplane. 4. Freezing S&C chargers - they should be reducing these charges, why - there is economic of scale, MIW gahmen inject grant funds regularly, then why should public housing S&C charges be higher than some Condos, some more no security guards especially the gurkha types at River Valley 5. GIC investing in UBS and Citi - they could have bought it even cheaper NOW, prior to acquiring, Soros said it is a mistake and GIC will live to regret it, it is another round of CPF money lost and subsequently another round of milking the sillyporeans 6. Marina IR - in any which way you see it, it is still a gambling den (high class) - why the who ha about Duxton Road by Member of Parliment, Marina IR will soon be the largest Chicken Farm in Sillypore, those who want to apply dont bother because those participate in this forum have been banned, you dont see it does not mean it does not exist 7. 3/4 tank policy - should be reverse, thailand have no such policy, thais are free to parasite on Malaysian's cheap subsidized petrol, if sillypore is (claim) riches in South East Asia, why cant MIW subsized our petrol, even dont subsized remove a free percentage from the petrol tax would help every citizen especially during these trying times 8. If you want to check on ME (Private Investigator) - apply for permit first, why is law or the rule of the land apply differently for sillyporeans, if you want to check on us (common sillyporeans), shouldnt they need to apply for permit too (like police warrant), where is the safe guard of our privacy or human rights, even my rats at home have rat rights. 9.
