Buying Affordability

Affordability (TDSR / MSR) calculator

Work out your maximum loan quantum — based on income, existing debts, loan tenure, and any assets you'd like to pledge or show to boost your eligibility.

Your figures
If this is your first property and neither of you owns any other residential property, a married couple with at least one SC spouse can apply for full ABSD remission (0%) — even for SC+PR or SC+Foreigner marriages. Your lawyer applies for this via the e-Stamping Portal before stamping.
ABSD is charged at the higher rate between joint applicants.
This drives your maximum LTV, separately from ABSD.
Bonus, commission, rental — counted at 70%.
Leave everything in this section blank to see what your income alone can service. Fill in to also check whether your funds cover the downpayment, BSD and ABSD.
Loan sizing uses the higher of your rate or the MAS floor.
Most banks cap HDB loan tenure at 25 years in practice. Stretching to the full 30-year regulatory maximum is sometimes possible — message Darren to explore whether this could work for you.

About This Estimate
  • TDSR caps all monthly debt, including the new home loan, at 55% of gross income. MSR caps the mortgage instalment alone at 30%, for HDB and EC purchases only.
  • Your loan is sized using the higher of your expected rate or the MAS floor — 4% for bank loans, 3% for HDB Loans.
  • LTV depends on your number of existing home loans, and drops if your tenure exceeds 30 years (25 for HDB Loans) or extends past age 65.
  • At least 5% of the price must be cash for a bank loan (10% if the tenure/age exceeds the 75% LTV limits), or 25% if you already have an existing home loan; an HDB Loan has no mandatory cash component.
  • Variable income is counted at 70%. Pledged or shown assets can boost income, spread over 48 months, with haircuts depending on asset type.
