How Singlife Flexi Life income works
Single Premium Using SRS
Mr Tan, age 53, purchases Singlife Flexi Life Income (previously known as MyLifeIncome III) with a single premium of S$30,332 using his SRS fund.
He chooses to start receiving his Yearly Income from age 63 upon starting his SRS penalty-free withdrawal age.
His Yearly Income comprises a Guaranteed Cash Benefit of S$300 and a Cash Bonus of $1,000 (based on the illustrated investment rate of return of 4.25% p.a.).
Mr Tan can continue to receive the Yearly Income for as long as he lives or surrender the policy for a lump sum surrender value at anytime. If he surrendered the policy at age 83, he gets S$36,852 back (based on the illustrated investment rate of return of 4.25% p.a.).
As a result, Mr Tan diversified his SRS fund investment and added more flexibility to optimise his tax planning during his 10 years penalty-free withdrawal period.
