BTO Affordability Roadmap

Slide your numbers and watch the roadmap redraw: grant, loan, and where the monthly instalment sits against the 30% servicing line. Benchmarks for a first-timer couple — not a personal verdict.

S$7,000
the 30% servicing line (MSR) is measured against this
S$60,000
S$500,000
hdb loans cap at 25 years; bank loans on hdb flats at 30 — there is no 35-year hdb tenure
ehg S$30,000loan S$375,000upfront S$104,600 (incl. bsd S$9,600)
instalment S$1,701/mo · 24% of income30% line

Couples around S$7,000/mo typically look at flats in the S$425k–S$590k range without stretching past the 30% servicing line. At S$500,000, the instalment lands at roughly 24% of income — inside it.

Upfront of S$104,600 sits above the S$60,000 you've set aside here — most couples in this band close that gap over the build period, or step down a flat tier. That's the kind of thing worth mapping together.

This is a population benchmark, not advice — the real plan depends on eligibility, grants and timing I'd map with you.
