Percentages are of the actual miles flown on each flight.

Fares paid in full with KrisFlyer miles earn no Elite miles. Applies to flights operated by Singapore Airlines.

KrisFlyer miles, Elite miles and the tier bonus
| Cabin | Booking classes | Share of miles flown |
|---|---|---|
| Suites / First | F, A | 200% |
| Business | Z, C, J | 150% |
| Business | D, U | 125% |

| Economy | B, E, Y | 100% |
| Economy | H, M, W | 75% |
| Economy | K, N, Q, V, G | 50% |
- KrisFlyer miles are the actual miles flown on each flight times the percentage. A connection is two flights, each counted on its own.
- Elite miles use the same percentages on Singapore Airlines flights. Tier bonuses and promotional bonuses do not count as Elite miles.
- Tier bonus: Elite Silver and PPS Club members earn 25% more, based on the actual miles flown. For PPS Club the bonus does not apply to the Q, N, V, K or G booking classes. Singapore Airlines' Elite Gold page publishes no tier bonus figure, so the calculator adds none for Elite Gold and may understate its miles.
- Upgrades: miles, Elite miles and PPS Value follow the booking class of the original ticket, before the upgrade.
- Partner flights earn on their own rows of the accrual chart, by the operating airline's booking class. See Singapore Airlines' Earn when you fly page for those.
Elite Silver and Elite Gold
| Tier | Elite miles in 12 consecutive months | From spending on the ground, at most |
|---|---|---|
| Elite Silver | 25,000 | 5,000 |
| Elite Gold | 50,000 | 10,000 |
- Each tier lasts 12 months. Earn the same number of Elite miles again during the membership to keep it.
- On the ground, Kris+, KrisShop and Pelago pay 1 Elite mile for every SGD 1 spent; these count for at most 20% of a tier's requirement.
PPS Club and Solitaire PPS Club
PPS Club is earned with PPS Value, not Elite miles, so neither this chart nor the calculator works it out. PPS Value is earned on Singapore Airlines Suites, First and Business, and is based on the airfare and applicable surcharge, without airport taxes, in Singapore dollars (fares in other currencies are converted at IATA's monthly rates).
- PPS Club: 25,000 PPS Value in 12 consecutive months, then 25,000 each membership year to renew.
- Solitaire PPS Club: 50,000 PPS Value in one membership year as a PPS Club member, and 50,000 each membership year to renew.
- On the ground: Kris+, KrisShop and Pelago pay 1 PPS Value for every SGD 3 spent. Toward renewal these count for at most 2,500 (PPS Club) or 5,000 (Solitaire PPS Club).
