Singapore CDC Voucher Spending Tracker 2026 — S$800 Budget Planner, Expiry Countdown & Weekly Pace Calculator

Every Singaporean household receives a total of 800 Singapore dollars in CDC vouchers in 2026 across two tranches. The January 2026 tranche is 300 dollars, split equally into 150 dollars for supermarkets and 150 dollars for hawker and heartland merchants. The June 2026 tranche is 500 dollars, split into 250 dollars for each category. The June tranche was originally scheduled for January 2027 but was brought forward under Budget 2026 to help families cope with rising costs.

The January 2026 tranche of 300 dollars expires on 31 December 2026. The June 2026 tranche of 500 dollars expires on 31 December 2027. After these dates, any unclaimed or unspent vouchers are forfeited. There are no extensions. This is why tracking your spending pace is important to avoid leaving free money on the table.

Visit go.gov.sg/cdcv and log in with your Singpass. Only one household member aged 21 or above needs to claim on behalf of the entire household. You will receive an SMS from gov.sg with a unique voucher link. Forward this SMS to other household members so they can spend independently. No app download is required.

CDC supermarket vouchers are accepted at eight participating chains: NTUC FairPrice, Giant Singapore, Cold Storage, Sheng Siong, Prime Supermarket, Ang Mo Supermarket, HAO Mart, and U Stars Supermarket. These vouchers cannot be used at hawker centres, heartland shops, or online platforms. Always check that the store displays the CDC Voucher acceptance sign.

CDC hawker and heartland vouchers are accepted at over 24,000 participating merchants including hawker stalls, coffee shops, wet market vendors, neighbourhood provision shops, hair salons, and heartland retail stores. Look for the CDC Vouchers decal displayed at the stall or shop entrance. These vouchers cannot be used at supermarkets.

No. CDC vouchers can only be spent in person at participating physical merchants and supermarkets. They cannot be used for online grocery orders, e-commerce platforms, or delivery services. The vouchers work through a QR code system where you show your phone screen to the merchant for scanning at the point of sale.

Unclaimed vouchers expire on their respective deadline dates and the money is forfeited. For the January 2026 tranche, the claim and spend deadline is 31 December 2026. For the June 2026 tranche, the deadline is 31 December 2027. The January 2026 tranche had a 94.5 percent claim rate, meaning 5.5 percent of households left 300 dollars unclaimed.

Yes. After one household member claims the vouchers, the SMS link can be forwarded to other family members. Each person can then open the link on their own phone and spend their share independently when they are out. The total household quantum remains the same, but multiple people can use portions of it simultaneously.

The two voucher types are colour-coded and restricted to their respective categories. Supermarket vouchers (typically blue) work only at the eight participating supermarket chains. Hawker and heartland vouchers (typically orange) work only at participating hawker stalls and heartland shops. You cannot swap or merge the two categories.

Always prioritise spending the January 2026 tranche first because it expires on 31 December 2026, a full year earlier than the June tranche which expires 31 December 2027. Using the January vouchers for your regular grocery shopping and hawker meals first ensures nothing is wasted, while the June vouchers remain available for over a year afterward.

Yes. Open the voucher link from the SMS you received when claiming. The page displays your remaining balance for each voucher type in real time. You can also use this calculator to track your spending across both tranches and calculate the weekly pace needed to use everything before expiry.

Some supermarkets run limited-time promotions for CDC voucher spending. For example, FairPrice offered a 6 dollar return voucher for every 60 dollars spent using CDC supermarket vouchers in June 2026. These promotions change frequently, so check your preferred supermarket website or app for current offers. Stacking CDC spending with store loyalty programmes maximises value.

Beyond CDC vouchers, eligible households may receive GST Voucher Cash of up to 850 dollars in August 2026, U-Save rebates of up to 570 dollars for utilities, S and CC rebates of 1.5 to 3.5 months, and a Cost-of-Living Special Payment of up to 400 dollars in September 2026. This calculator lets you add these amounts to see your total 2026 government support.

Yes, you need a smartphone with internet access to claim and spend CDC vouchers. The system is entirely digital using QR codes shown on your phone screen. If you do not have a smartphone, you can ask a household member to claim on your behalf and show the QR code from their phone when you shop together. Community centres can also assist seniors with claiming.

Yes, if the individual stalls or the food court operator has registered as a participating heartland merchant. Most major food court operators including Kopitiam and Food Republic have participating stalls. However, not every stall within a food court may accept CDC vouchers. Look for the CDC Vouchers decal at each individual stall.

The official CDC voucher portal at vouchers.cdc.gov.sg shows your remaining balance for the active voucher link. This tracker goes further by calculating your optimal weekly spending pace based on remaining balance and days until expiry, comparing both tranches side by side with progress bars, and stacking your CDC vouchers with other 2026 government benefits to show your total household support picture. It also generates a downloadable PDF report.
