Calculate Pag-IBIG Fund housing loan monthly payments with salary-based interest rates. Includes rate table, term comparison, and affordability check.
The Home Development Mutual Fund (Pag-IBIG Fund or HDMF) provides affordable housing loans to Filipino workers who are active Pag-IBIG members. Among its key advantages are interest rates as low as 4.5% per annum for lower-income members — significantly below bank mortgage rates of 7-12% — along with loan terms up to 30 years.
Pag-IBIG housing loan rates are tiered based on your monthly salary: members earning ₱6,000 and below get the lowest rates, while those earning above ₱20,000 pay rates closer to — but still below — commercial levels. Rates also increase with longer loan terms, creating a matrix of salary × term combinations.
This calculator uses the official Pag-IBIG rate table to determine your exact interest rate, computes monthly amortization, checks affordability against the 35% salary guideline, and compares different loan terms so you can choose the optimal balance between monthly payment and total cost. Check the example with realistic values before reporting.
Pag-IBIG rates depend on both salary and term — guessing your rate leads to wrong estimates. This calculator applies the exact rate matrix, checks if your payment stays within the recommended 35% of salary, and compares all available terms so you can make an informed decision before visiting the Pag-IBIG office.
Monthly Payment = P × r(1+r)^n / ((1+r)^n − 1), where P = loan amount, r = monthly rate (annual rate from Pag-IBIG table / 12), n = total months. Interest rate is determined by the intersection of your salary bracket and loan term.
Result: Rate: 8.83% — Monthly: ₱12,317 — Total Interest: ₱2,195,100 — Affordability: 49.3%
A ₱25,000/month earner borrowing ₱1.5M over 25 years gets an 8.83% rate with ₱12,317 monthly payment. At 49.3% of salary, this exceeds the 35% guideline — consider a shorter term or lower amount. At 20 years, the rate drops to 8.0% but the payment rises to ₱12,543.

It depends on your monthly salary and loan term. Rates range from 4.5% (≤₱6K salary, 5-10yr term) to 9.5% (>₱20K salary, 26-30yr term). The rate is fixed for the duration of the loan. Use the rate table in the calculator to find your exact rate.
The maximum loanable amount is ₱6 million for members with at least 24 monthly contributions. Your actual capacity is limited by the 35% of salary affordability rule. Higher earners with longer contribution histories may qualify for larger amounts.
Key requirements: (1) Active Pag-IBIG membership, (2) at least 24 monthly contributions, (3) legal age and not over 65 at loan maturity, (4) no outstanding Pag-IBIG housing loan. You also need property documents, valid ID, proof of income, and a Transfer Certificate of Title or Condominium Certificate of Title.
Pag-IBIG housing loan rates are fixed for the entire loan term. Once your rate is determined at origination, it does not change — unlike bank mortgages that may have repricing periods. This provides payment certainty over the full 5-30 year term.
Yes, Pag-IBIG allows partial or full prepayment without penalty. Prepaying reduces your remaining balance and total interest. You can make lump-sum payments at any Pag-IBIG branch. This is a significant advantage over some bank loans that charge prepayment fees.
Pag-IBIG rates (4.5-9.5%) are generally lower than bank rates (7-12%+), especially for lower-income borrowers. Pag-IBIG offers fixed rates and no prepayment penalties. However, banks may offer faster processing and higher loan limits. Many buyers combine Pag-IBIG and bank financing for properties above ₱6M.
