I am turning 45 next year, so my OA allocation is it 0.5677 or 0.5136?

After your birthday, should still be 0.5677. Because your age is still 45. The "above" only refers to the first age stated in each row.

When you reach 46, then is the next tier.

Honestly this is confusing as heck. Preferred it when they refer to it using percentages instead of this difficult to remember ratios.

People like you guys who are probably earning above median income won't understand one

bro ... it's not about above or below the median income ... what I mean is that, you can't change anything in CPF right? like CPF allocation ... can we change it? or maybe I'm missing out something? :)

46-50 :0.5136
51-55: 0.4055

Don't loan till 65.. After 55 you might need to pay cash for housing loan...

You check your next month's CPF allocation, I think OA's allocation should be changed to 0.5136
I thought the contribution made after the day I turned 45 should be in different tier

Thanks
As long as hit FRS plus working plus yearly medisave topup, no need to pay cash since MA flows to OA monthly and the annual interest for OA would be above $20k after monthly HDB loan repayment of $700

based on your birthday when the $ is allocated. If you BDay is 18th March, if CPF credits your account on 18th March, it will be new allocation, if CPF credit your account on17th March then is old allocation.
Peace...
