In 2025, the Singapore Government will continue providing U-Save rebates to help HDB households cope with rising electricity, water, and gas costs. These rebates, ranging from $440 to $760 annually, are part of the GST Voucher (GSTV) scheme and are credited directly to eligible households’ utilities accounts.
Purpose of the U-Save Rebate
The U-Save rebates aim to:
- Reduce the financial burden of monthly utility bills for low- and middle-income households.
- Provide direct bill offsets so families have more cash available for other daily needs.
- Ensure vulnerable households can manage rising living costs without falling behind on utility payments.

To receive the U-Save rebate in 2025, households must meet the following requirements:
