1. What is the ADP Salary Calculator?

The ADP Salary Calculator helps estimate net salary in Singapore after accounting for CPF contributions and income tax, following guidelines from Singapore's Ministry of Manpower (MOM).

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the formula:

Where:

• \( Gross\ Salary \) — Annual salary before deductions (SGD)
• \( CPF \) — Central Provident Fund contribution (20% of gross salary)
