Good question. I think it's gross, total household income.

And btw, if your gross salary is 10K, the employee CPF is a max of $950/mth CPF. If your gross salary is 100K, you still pay a max of $950/mth.

I'm new to this forum. Anyway, I would be relocating to Sg end of this month and currently looking for a place to rent. I would be working at Thompson road closer to the Toa Payoh MRT station. Looking for a place around there. I've been told areas such as Toa Payoh, Bradell, belstier Rd are good for renting with lively neighbourhood. Just wanted to get your opinions on this. I'm looking to rent a room for now until i get a hang of Singapore.

SINGAPORE'S economy has slid into its first technical recession since 2002, as a slump in exports pushed quarterly growth into negative territory for the second quarter in a row.
The economy shrank by a worse-than-expected 0.5 per cent in the third quarter compared to the same period last year, according to estimates from the Ministry of Trade and Industry (MTI) released on Friday morning.

MTI has also revised its full-year growth forecast for the second time this year, lowering it to 'around 3 per cent' from 4 to 5 per cent previously. This would make it the weakest pace in seven years.

Recognising growth concerns, the Monetary Authority of Singapore also changed its policy stance to zero appreciation of the Singapore dollar, reversing the gradual appreciation policy it has adopted since 2003.

On a quarterly basis, third-quarter GDP contracted 6.3 per cent from the second quarter, on top of a 5.7 per cent decline in the previous three months. A technical recession is generally defined as two consecutive quarters of decline.

Manufacturing led the slowdown again this time around, weighed down by a poor performance in the biomedical sciences segment. It was also hit by weakened global demand for exports as the United States-triggered financial crisis spreads around the world.

The sector shrank by 11.5 per cent in the third quarter, after declining 4.9 per cent in the previous quarter.

Growth in construction and services also slowed. Construction, in particular, saw its pace of expansion halved to single-digit growth, as projects were delayed by the construction squeeze, said MTI.

Services, touted as a key driver of growth this year, is likely to take a hit as well as financial services falters in the wake of the global credit crunch.

Most economists expect the economy to grow even more slowly next year, with the chance of a technical recession turning into a 'real' one.

'With external conditions deteriorating and the lack of domestic demand support, we expect Singapore to register no growth next year... with a muted recovery, if at all, expected only in the second half of next year at the earliest,' said Morgan Stanley economists in a report.

Inflation peaks
Inflation, which reached a 26-year high earlier this year, has peaked, said MAS. Consumer prices will rise between 6 per cent and 7 per cent this year, and gains will ease to between 2.5 per cent and 3.5 per cent in 2009, it predicted.

'Against the backdrop of a weakening external economic environment and continuing stresses in global financial markets, the growth of the Singapore economy is expected to remain below potential in the period ahead,' said MAS.

'Inflation is expected to trend down in 2009 as the global and domestic economies slow.'

Yes, If the Net household Income cannot more than 8k ceiling for apply hdb will be have quite big different as gross household income cannot more than 8k.
The 10k gross salary here refer is for household and not personal(each personal cap at 4500 for CPF)and I forget about the CPF cap at 4500. thanks for that.
However, if net household income <= 8k mean , husband and wife total gross salary can be almost 10k as well. Eg 4.9k each - 950each  =3950*2 =7900.

This is the thing on my mind because some of calculation in Singapore is calculate base on net income(deduct cpf) like Income Tax.

So, anyone have any idea on this? Anyone bought HDB b4?
