Usually "supaya" and "agar" comes with a result.
Example.
Saya bekerja agar/supaya saya mendapat uang
I work so I can earn some money
Therefore, "untuk" usually comes with something that you have to do.
Example.
Saya pergi ke pasar untuk membeli sayur.
I go to the wet market to buy vegetables.

i think supaya and agar have no a great difference. it means in order to
supaya
saya belajar supaya pintar
i study in order to be smart
agar
saya belajar agar pintar
but mind you, agar is a slang word. supaya is the formal one
untuk is commonly the same with "for"
saya membeli buku ini untuk choiwoong
i bought this book for choiwoong
