The figures show you an estimate of the extra monthly cash instalments you have to fork out after CPF deduction. These estimates take into account the prevailing CPF OA contributions, Enhanced CPF Housing Grant (EHG) and loan interest rate.
Depending on your household income, a cash payment highlighted in red means that it may not be affordable for you to purchase that BTO.
Assumptions:
1. Buyers have sufficient savings for the 10% downpayment.
2. The monthly installment is based on the maximum tenure of 25 years at HDB concessionary interest rate of 2.6% p.a.
3. Buyers apply as a first-timer household under one of the eligibility schemes, and all buyers are Singapore citizens.
4. Buyers fulfil all eligibility criteria e.g. within income ceiling for flat intended, at least 21 years old, do not own other property overseas or locally.
