Around 22,000 S'pore civil servants to receive salary increase of 2 to 9%

Eligible civil servants in Singapore will receive salary adjustments of 2 to 9 per cent.

According to the Prime Minister's Office on Feb. 20, 2026, the adjustments are part of a periodic review to ensure the public service keeps pace with market standards, and to attract and retaining talent.

The Public Service Division (PSD) will be adjusting salaries for around 22,000 eligible officers with effect from Aug. 1, 2026.

These officers will be on the Management Executive Scheme, Technical Support Scheme, Management Support Scheme, Corporate Support Scheme, and Operations Support Scheme, and related schemes.

Officers in the above schemes perform a range of roles, such as policy and planning, administration and operations.

According to the statement, PSD periodically reviews salaries and adjusts them when necessary to broadly keep pace with, but not lead, the market.

PSD last made salary revisions to these Civil Service schemes in 2022. Since then, salary levels in the market have increased.
