| Families | S$120,000 | S$9,000 |
| Singles | S$60,000 | Not specified in data |

Worked example
Worked example
Scenario: A married couple applies for the EHG.
- Their combined average monthly household income is S$8,500 — below the family income ceiling of S$9,000, so they qualify.
- The EHG is tiered by income, with a maximum of S$120,000 for families.
- As a higher-income household near the ceiling, they would fall into a lower grant tier and receive less than the S$120,000 maximum.
*Note: The exact grant amount at their income level depends on the specific tier table, which is not included in the data here. A household at the lowest income tiers would receive up to the full S$120,000.*
What this means for you
Which applies to you?
Lower-income family
If your average monthly household income sits at the lower tiers, you may qualify for the full family maximum of S$120,000, provided you are within the S$9,000 income ceiling.
Family near the income ceiling
With income close to S$9,000, you still qualify but receive a smaller, tiered amount rather than the S$120,000 maximum.
Single applicant
Eligible singles can receive up to S$60,000, also tiered by income.
