Sixty years. Can you believe it? That’s the monumental milestone Singapore is hitting, and you know what? The government isn’t just baking a cake; they’re actually giving back in a major way. I’m talking about the SG60 Vouchers. For every eligible Singaporean, we’re looking at a sweet, tangible package worth anywhere from $600 to a solid $800. It’s an undeniably massive gesture of gratitude and recognition.
But let’s be real, this isn’t just some symbolic birthday fanfare. In my view—and I think many people would wholeheartedly agree—this is a genuinely brilliant, two-pronged approach to the economic pressures we’re all feeling right now.
What Are SG60 Vouchers and Who Gets Them?
The SG60 Vouchers form part of the SG60 Package announced in Budget 2025. These digital vouchers are split into two equal parts — one for heartland merchants and hawkers, and the other for supermarkets.
| Age Group | Birth Year | Total Amount | Heartland/Hawkers | Supermarkets |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 21–59 years | 1966–2004 | $600 | $300 | $300 |
| 60 years & above | 1965 or earlier | $800 | $400 | $400 |
To qualify, you must:
- Be a Singapore citizen aged 21 or older in 2025
- Have a valid Singpass and Singapore-registered mobile number
Good news for overseas Singaporeans — you’re still eligible if your Singpass and mobile number are active.

Claiming your vouchers is quick and 100% free.

Where Can You Spend Them?
Look for these decals at participating shops:

You can use them anywhere in Singapore, regardless of where you live.
Smart Ways to Maximise Your SG60 Vouchers
Here’s how to make every dollar go further:
1. Follow the “Need–Save–Share” rule:
- 60% on essentials (groceries, medicine)
- 30% on bulk or future-use items
- 10% to support local hawkers or elderly-run shops
2. Stack savings with promotions:
Use vouchers during “Buy 2 Get 1 Free” or clearance sales — it’s like doubling your benefit.
3. Build a mini emergency kit:
Use part of your vouchers for first-aid, dry food, and household essentials — practical spending that saves future costs.
4. Go cash-free for a week:
Challenge yourself to use only SG60 Vouchers for food and groceries — it’s fun, and it builds better spending discipline.
5. Support small heartland shops:
Every purchase keeps Singapore’s community spirit alive and helps local families.
