What is the maid levy and how much is it?

As per MOM regulations, an employer needs to pay the maid’s levy. The maid’s levy is a monthly tax paid to the government for every foreign domestic worker employed in Singapore. Employers are required to pay a Migrant Domestic Worker (MDW) monthly levy of $265 (normal) or $60 (concessionary). Levy charges begin on the fifth day after the MDW’s arrival in Singapore, including the day of arrival.

Levy Payment should be made via GIRO only. The MDW’s Work Permit (WP) will be canceled

if the employer fails to maintain a valid GIRO account. Employers can view their levy bills online using the Internet Foreign Worker Levy Billing (iFWLB) System via SingPass.
