Budget 2026: All households get $500 vouchers from January 2027

Half the vouchers go to supermarkets with the rest for heartland merchants and hawkers.

The government said a cost-of-living special payment will be issued to Singaporean adults earning up to $100,000 in accessible income and who own no more than one property. Payments will range from $200 to $400 in cash.

“Second, there will be additional U-Save rebates to help households with their utility expenses. Eligible HDB households will receive 1.5 times the regular amount of your savings rebates, or up to $570 this financial year,” Prime Minister Lawrence Wong said at the Singapore Budget 2026.

Starting January 2027, all Singaporean households will receive $500 in Community Development Council (CDC) vouchers.

Half of the vouchers can be used at participating supermarkets, and the remainder at Heartland merchants and hawkers, following the model of previous rounds.

The government said it will continue to review and enhance social support across education, housing, healthcare and retirement, covering families, parents, seniors, persons with disabilities and caregivers.

Singapore Budget

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
