How cashback is calculated
Card rankings on this page are dynamically calculated using the latest 2026 cashback metrics, category spending caps, minimum income thresholds, and active annual fees sourced from official banking portals in Singapore. The system projects estimated monthly and yearly cashback returns by parsing your configurable monthly spend across common categories (e.g., dining, travel, local retail) against each card's unique matrix. Spending limits are factored into the calculation algorithm to provide realistic projections. These projections are for illustrative purposes only and do not constitute financial advice.

What is the minimum monthly spend for HSBC cashback cards?
Every HSBC cashback card SGfi tracks requires a minimum monthly spend to earn at the headline rate. HSBC Live+ Card has the lowest threshold at S$600 per month; the highest in the lineup is S$600.
How are the HSBC Live+ cashback cap and minimum spend applied?
The HSBC Live+ Card pays 8% on dining, retail shopping and entertainment (5% on petrol), but cashback is capped at S$250 per calendar quarter — about S$83 a month. You must spend at least S$600 in eligible purchases every month of the quarter (or S$1,000 in the first calendar quarter the card is issued), otherwise that spend earns only the 0.3% base rate.
How do monthly cashback caps work?
Most Singapore cashback cards limit how much cashback you can earn per month — either per category or in total. Once the cap is reached, additional spend in that category earns the base rate or no further cashback for the month.
What counts as eligible spend?
Banks typically exclude insurance premiums, education, government payments, charitable donations, and certain utility bills. Check each card's exclusion list before relying on the projected cashback.
What happens if I do not meet the minimum monthly spend?
Cards with a minimum spend requirement fall back to a lower rate (often around 0.2% to 0.3%) for the month if you do not hit the threshold. The calculator applies this fallback automatically.
How does the annual fee waiver work?
Some cards waive the annual fee from year two onwards if you spend above a certain annual amount.
Are these rates guaranteed?
No. Banks change cashback rates, caps, and eligible categories regularly. The numbers shown are projections based on rates verified at the date noted, not guarantees of future earnings.
