Hi, I am a single just turned 35 and looking for a 4 room resale with 500k budget. My understanding is that I will receive a 40k grant under the cpf housing grant. I wish to understand more about the enhanced CPF housing grant but i see that it is a tiered. My bonuses are given at the end of each year and is forms a substantial chunk of my annual income. How does HDB calculate the gross monthly income - is it the annual salary+bonuses/12 or do they look at the gross monthly for the last 3 months? Thank you.

Bonuses are not considered as part of household income or for loan assessment.

You may refer to the link above to read up on how the income is being assessed, both for loan and monthly household income.

I have been in the real estate business since 2009, with more than 13 years of experience serving the Singapore real estate market.

I am very active in the residential segment of Singapore real estate market, having transacted hundreds of deals from HDBs to private condominiums and landed properties in Singapore, and have handled many unique cases in sales and purchases as well as rental deals.

Over the years, I have also established a network reaching out to more than 9,400 expatriates, bringing my market presence to both in and outside of Singapore. This has created an additional exposure when I manage my client's portfolios, on top of the conventional on and offline platforms, where other estate agents are relying on. This has allowed me to consistently convert leads into results.

With an evolving market, where change is the only constant, I have also been investing in upgrading of my knowledge and skills sets to improve myself and meet the demands of current and future market.

Hi,

1) The easiest way is to apply for the HFE now. (https://www.hdb.gov.sg/residential/buying-a-flat/understanding-your-eligibility-and-housing-loan-options/application-for-an-hdb-flat-eligibility-hfe-letter?anchor=how-to-apply)
2) The HFE will reflect the available grants according to your input.
3) In the general calculation for MSR (Mortgage Service Ratio), the bonus will receive a 30% haircut to derive the final available loan.
4) It depends on how the HDB looks at your bonus for the grants.
5) They might do the same as the MSR or otherwise.
6) By the way, now you have to submit the past 12-month payslips for the loan and grant assessment instead of 3 months.
7) You can still don't buy if the given grants do not work for your expected budget, or choose a smaller flat instead.

Please give me a thumbs-up if the answer provided is relevant to your main concern. Thanks!!!

Hope the above answers your main concerns, but if there are more queries, please feel free to contact me at 90110636  , or email: ling.ck7@gmail.com if more information is needed.
I'll be glad to assist.

Best regards

Good day to you,

It is only prudent to work on secured figures instead of general understanding and estimates. With all the required documentation and Singpass, getting your HFE application processed is just a click away. Do feel free to contact me should you require additional assistance.
