This tool will help you determine your eligibility for a home loan with OCBC.
How to Use the Home Loan Eligibility Calculator
Input your financial information into the respective fields and click “Calculate”. This includes your monthly income, monthly expenses, other loan payments, expected interest rate, loan term, and down payment.
How It Calculates the Results
The calculator evaluates your home loan eligibility based on the following parameters:
- Monthly Income: Your total income per month.
- Monthly Expenses: Your total monthly expenses.
- Monthly Other Loan Payments: The total amount you pay monthly for other loans.
- Expected Interest Rate: The interest rate you expect on your home loan.
- Loan Term: The term of the loan in years.
- Down Payment: Your initial payment towards the house.
Based on these parameters, the calculator computes the maximum loan amount you are eligible for and the monthly EMI (Equated Monthly Installment). The results assume you fall within the OCBC home loan eligibility criteria and that all values provided are accurate and up-to-date.
Limitations
The results generated by this calculator are approximations and should be used as a guidance tool instead of a definitive decision-driver. The actual eligibility can be confirmed only after thorough evaluation by OCBC based on updated criteria and personal financial assessments.
