What Are U-Save Rebates?
The U-Save (Utilities-Save) rebate is a key component of the GST Voucher (GSTV) scheme, designed to help Singaporean households manage their utility expenses. The rebates are credited directly to residents’ utility accounts and reduce the amount they have to pay in electricity, water, and gas bills.
In 2025, the government has committed to enhanced support under the Assurance Package, allowing eligible households to enjoy total rebates ranging from $440 to $760 across the year.
Total U-Save Rebate Amounts in 2025
The total amount of U-Save rebates you will receive depends on your HDB flat type.
| HDB Flat Type | Total U-Save in 2025 |
|---|---|
| 1- and 2-Room Flats | $760 |
| 3-Room Flats | $680 |
| 4-Room Flats | $600 |
| 5-Room Flats | $520 |
| Executive Flats | $440 |
These totals include both the regular U-Save payouts and additional rebates under the Assurance Package (AP), which boosts the amount in 2025.
Eligibility Criteria
To qualify for U-Save rebates in 2025, you must meet the following conditions:
- Be a Singapore Citizen
- Live in an HDB flat
- Have no more than one property
- The household must have at least one citizen owner or occupier
Households that meet these criteria are automatically eligible—there’s no need to apply.
Quarterly Payout Schedule for 2025
The rebates will be distributed in four instalments throughout the year:
| Quarter | Estimated Disbursement Month |
|---|---|
| Q1 | January 2025 |
| Q2 | April 2025 |
| Q3 | July 2025 |
| Q4 | October 2025 |
Each payout will be automatically credited to your household’s utilities account managed by SP Services.
How the Rebates Are Applied
Unlike direct cash transfers, U-Save rebates are credited to utility accounts. Here’s how it works:
- The amount reduces your monthly SP Group utility bills
- If your bill is less than the rebate amount, the unused portion rolls over to the following month
- No action is required unless you want to check your rebate balance via SP Utilities App
This means households could enjoy months of zero or reduced utility charges without making any upfront claims.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Do I need to apply for the U-Save rebate?
No. If your household is eligible, the rebate is automatically applied to your utility account.
2. What if my utilities are under someone else’s name?
As long as the household meets eligibility criteria, the rebate will be credited to the utilities account holder.
3. Will these rebates continue after 2025?
Yes. The U-Save rebate is a long-term part of the GSTV scheme. However, enhanced amounts under the Assurance Package may vary year to year.
Final Takeaway
The $440 to $760 in U-Save rebates confirmed for 2025 offers meaningful savings for eligible HDB households, especially amid rising living and energy costs. With automatic disbursement and no paperwork required, this scheme continues to play a key role in supporting Singaporeans.
