How much is the average silver housing bonus?

As of December 1, 2025, eligible seniors in Singapore can receive a maximum Silver Housing Bonus (SHB) of up to $40,000. This bonus is part of a government initiative to help eligible seniors supplement their retirement income by downsizing to a smaller Housing & Development Board (HDB) flat. The final amount of the silver housing bonus depends on the top-up made to the retiree's Central Provident Fund (CPF) Retirement Account (RA) from the sale proceeds.
