What is the max monthly CPF usage for mortgage payment?
66 views
The maximum amount of CPF that can be used for mortgage payments in Singapore depends on the type of property and the loan type.
For HDB Flats with HDB Loans
There is no limit to how much CPF you can use for mortgage payments if you are purchasing a BTO (Build-To-Order) or resale HDB flat with an HDB loan.
For Private Properties or HDB Flats with Bank Loans
For private properties or HDB flats purchased with a bank loan, the CPF usage is capped at 120% of the property's Valuation Limit (VL), which is the lower of the purchase price or the property valuation at the time of purchase. This means you can use up to 120% of the VL from your CPF Ordinary Account (OA) for the down payment, monthly repayments, and other related costs, provided you meet the Basic Retirement Sum (BRS) in your CPF account.
Lease Considerations
If the remaining lease of the property cannot cover the youngest owner until at least age 95, there will be limitations on how much CPF you can use, and the percentage will be much lower.
In summary, while there is no limit for HDB loans, for bank loans, the maximum CPF usage is capped at 120% of the property's valuation limit, subject to certain conditions.
