The budget calculator will help you estimate the eligible loan amount and highlight the terms and conditions in taking out a housing loan from HDB and FIs. This information will help you make informed decisions during your flat buying journey.
If you wish to apply for a housing loan from HDB or FIs, you will need to submit a loan application to HDB or the respective FIs. Please check your eligibility for an FI housing loan with the FIs directly.
If you wish to take an HDB housing loan, do submit your HLE application online with supporting documents to find out if you are eligible for an HDB housing loan, and the loan amount you can get based on your financial situation. You can also check the status of your HLE application thereafter.
If you already have a flat in mind, you can use the payment plan calculator for a customised financial plan. The payment plan calculator will show a breakdown of the cash and CPF payments required at the various milestones of your flat buying journey based on the flat details, available funds, estimated housing loan amount from HDB or FIs, and probable CPF Housing grant amount indicated.
