⚡ Key takeaways
- PMI’s rules are the same in Singapore: 60 PDUs every 3 years, then US$60 (member) or US$150 (non-member), about S$77 or S$192.
- SkillsFuture Credit only covers courses listed on MySkillsFuture. It can’t pay PMI’s renewal fee.
- Course Fees Relief ended from YA 2026, so PDU courses you pay for yourself no longer get income-tax relief.
- Training your employer pays for is generally not taxable for you, so ask your employer first.
If you hold a PMP in Singapore, renewing it follows the same PMI rules as everywhere else. What is different locally is how SkillsFuture, tax relief and employer-paid training apply. This guide covers exactly that.

Full details are in our PMP Certification Renewal guide.
What PMP renewal costs in Singapore
The PMI fee is fixed in US dollars. What changes your total is how you earn the 60 PDUs. Amounts in SGD are approximate.
| Route | PMI fee | PDUs | Typical total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Non-member + 60 PDU bundle | ~S$192 | from US$99 (~S$127) with the Gururo 60 PDU bundle | ~S$319 |
| Non-member + free PDUs only | ~S$192 | S$0 (chapter events, webinars, Giving Back) | ~S$192 + about 60 hours of your time |
| PMI member + member webinars | ~S$77 | Included with membership | ~S$77 + the annual membership fee |
Good to know
PMI says renewal fees are subject to membership and regional pricing, and local taxes such as GST may be added at checkout. Check the exact amount in your myPMI dashboard.
Can you use SkillsFuture Credit for PMP renewal?
Only for courses that are listed as SkillsFuture Credit-eligible on MySkillsFuture. Singapore citizens get a S$500 opening credit from age 25, and an extra S$4,000 SkillsFuture Level-Up (mid-career) credit from age 40 for selected courses.
- The PMI renewal fee is not a course, so SkillsFuture Credit can’t pay it.
- Some PMP-related courses have been listed on MySkillsFuture. If you want to use your credit for PDUs, check the course’s MySkillsFuture page before you enrol.
Tax: Course Fees Relief has ended
IRAS discontinued Course Fees Relief from Year of Assessment 2026, so YA 2025 was the last year you could claim it. In April 2026 the Ministry of Finance said there are no plans to reintroduce it.
In practice, PDU courses and the renewal fee you pay for yourself now get no personal income-tax relief.
Important
This is general information, not tax advice. Check with a tax professional for your situation.
How to get your employer to pay
Under IRAS rules, course, training and exam fees your employer pays are generally not taxable for you when the training is part of the employer’s training open to staff, even if staff are selected by criteria. They become taxable if they are given as a reward.
How to ask, in 3 steps
- Check your HR or learning portal for training or certification support.
- Send your manager the cost (PMI fee plus PDU course) and how an active PMP helps your role, clients or tenders.
- Keep invoices and completion certificates for reimbursement.
Tip
Ask HR to pay for both the PDU bundle and the PMI renewal fee. That is usually the cheapest route now that Course Fees Relief has ended.
