Calculations assume simple annualized return at the quoted rate. Real returns may differ due to compounding, fees, market yield changes (for T-bills sold early), and step-up effects (for SSB held multiple years). See the method notes below.
Method notes
T-bills: we use principal × cutoff_yield × (days / 365)
where days = 182 for 6-month or 364 for 1-year. This matches the discount
pricing MAS uses for a single auction held to maturity.
SSB year 1: we use the year-1 coupon rate. For
durations under 1 year, return = rate × years.
SSB multi-year: we approximate with the 10-year average rate weighted against the duration. For durations less than 10 years, the real return is lower than this approximation (the step-up curve loads the higher rates toward later years). For a more precise figure, look at the specific issue's coupon schedule.
Not included: the S$2 transaction fee on SSB applications and redemptions; any early-redemption market-price effect on T-bills; CPF-related charges if buying through CPFIS.
