Singapore U-Save Payout 2025: Up to S$760 in Utility Rebates for HDB Households
With rising utility costs squeezing household budgets in Singapore, the U-Save Payout 2025 offers timely and essential relief. Designed to offset electricity, gas, and water bills, this rebate—worth up to S$760 annually—is automatically credited to eligible HDB households, reducing your SP Group bills without requiring any application. Whether you’re a senior, a parent, or living on your own, the GST Voucher – U-Save scheme helps bring practical support to your monthly finances.
Let’s explore how the 2025 payout works, who qualifies, when you’ll receive it, and how to make the most of it.
What Is the GST Voucher – U-Save?
The U-Save rebate is one of four components under Singapore’s GST Voucher Scheme, a program aimed at easing the financial impact of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) on lower- and middle-income households. Rather than providing a direct cash payout, the government credits the rebate directly into your SP utilities account, automatically reducing your monthly bills.
In 2025, the rebate continues as part of the broader Assurance Package, reaffirmed during Budget 2024, to help households cope with inflation and higher energy costs.
