How the interest is structured
Bonus interest by balance band and qualifying activity, on the first S$100,000. Balance above the cap earns the 0.05% base rate.
| Monthly transactions | Income + 1 | Income + 2 | Income + 3 or more |
|---|---|---|---|
| S$500 – <S$15,000 | 1.80% | 2.10% | 2.40% |
| S$15,000 – <S$30,000 | 1.90% | 2.20% | 2.50% |
| S$30,000 and above | 2.20% | 3.00% | 4.10% |
Total rate on the eligible balance: the first S$50,000 (income + 1 category) or first S$100,000 (income + 2 or more). Balance above earns the 0.05% base rate.

Income credit is mandatory; the bonus rate then rises with BOTH the number of additional categories met (card/PayLah! spend, home loan, insurance, investments) and the total monthly eligible transaction volume. Bonus interest is paid on the first S$50,000 (income + 1 category) or the first S$100,000 (income + 2 or more); the tier rate is the total rate on that balance, with 0.05% p.a. base above it. Maximum 4.10% p.a. (income + 3 categories, ≥ S$30,000/month). The calculator sums the income, card-spend, home-loan, insurance, and investment monthly amounts you enter as the transaction volume. The ≤29-year-old "no income" path (1.50% on the first S$50,000 with any card/PayLah! spend) is not modelled.
Frequently asked questions
How is savings-account interest calculated here?
Each account pays a low base rate on your whole balance, plus bonus interest when you meet qualifying steps such as crediting your salary, spending on the bank’s card, or paying bills by GIRO. The calculator routes your entered balance and the steps you select against each issuer’s published rate structure, then projects the result over twelve months. These accounts have no annual fee, so the projected figure is both gross and net.
What is the bonus-eligible balance cap?
Most accounts pay bonus interest only up to a maximum balance. The UOB One Account, for example, pays bonus interest on the first S$150,000; any balance above that earns the base rate. The cap for each account is shown on its result row.
Why does crediting salary or paying bills by GIRO change the interest?
Banks unlock higher bonus tiers when you add qualifying activity. For the UOB One Account, eligible card spend is required for any bonus; crediting a salary of at least S$1,600 reaches higher tiers than the three-GIRO-transaction alternative. Toggle these inputs to see how the projection changes.
Are these interest rates fixed?
No. Banks revise savings-account rates frequently and promotional bonus rates expire. The figures reflect the “Rates as of” date shown on each result row. Confirm current terms on the issuer’s official page before acting on them.
How are the accounts ordered?
Rows are ordered strictly by projected annual interest at the inputs you entered. When two accounts project the same interest, the tie is broken alphabetically by issuer. The ordering depends only on your inputs and each issuer’s published rates.
Is my financial information sent anywhere?
No. Every calculation runs locally in your browser. Your balance, salary, and spending are not sent to a server or any third party.
