If someone told you that checking one setting in your banking app could help you receive S$600 faster would you do it? That is exactly the case with Singapore’s upcoming S$600 Support December 2025 payout which is a key part of the Government’s multi-year Assurance Package.

And this payout aimed at more than 3 million Singaporeans is designed to give households that extra breathing room as the year wraps up.
What Is the Singapore S$600 Year-End Support for 2025?
Think of it as a year-end boost from the Government to help with rising expenses. This one-time payout falls under the Assurance Package (2022–2026), first announced in Budget 2023. It delivers flexible cash support—no usage restrictions, no applications, no hoops to jump through.

Eligibility Breakdown: Who Will Get the Full S$600 Relief?
The payout amount is not the same for everyone. It follows a tier system where the maximum amount of S$600 is given to Singaporeans who qualify based on specific requirements. You can get the full S$600 if you are a Singapore citizen who is 21 years old or above in 2025 and your yearly assessable income is less than S$100000. You should also own either no property or just one property which is usually an HDB flat. People who earn higher incomes or own more than one property will still get some money. The support for these households ranges between S$100 & S$500 depending on their situation. The best thing about this is that you do not have to submit any application. The government will check if you qualify by looking at your income information from IRAS and your property details from HDB records. This means there are no forms to fill out and no lines to wait in.
Payout Process Explained: When and How the S$600 Will Be Disbursed
A typical family in a 4-room HDB flat uses most of their money on food utilities and transport. The S$600 payout helps with about 10 to 15 percent of their monthly essential costs. It can also cover part of the higher grocery bills or offset the increase in public transport fares. Some families use it as extra money during the year-end holidays. This payout gives families some financial relief. With global energy prices going up & supply chain problems pushing domestic inflation to 3 or 4 percent, this extra money helps families manage their expenses better.
