Pag-IBIG Housing Loan Calculator

Calculate Pag-IBIG Fund housing loan monthly payments with salary-based interest rates. Includes rate table, term comparison, and affordability check.

About the Pag-IBIG Housing Loan Calculator

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.

Why Use This Pag-IBIG Housing Loan Calculator?

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.

How to Use This Calculator

  1. Enter your monthly salary to determine the applicable interest rate tier.
  2. Input the loan amount you want to borrow.
  3. Select a loan term between 5 and 30 years.
  4. Optionally enter a down payment percentage and property value.
  5. Review the rate automatically assigned from the official table.
  6. Check the affordability indicator (target ≤ 35% of salary).
  7. Compare terms in the comparison table to find your ideal balance.

Formula

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.

Example Calculation

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Pag-IBIG housing loan interest rate?

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.

How much can I borrow from Pag-IBIG?

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.

What are the Pag-IBIG housing loan requirements?

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.

Is the Pag-IBIG rate fixed or variable?

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.

Can I prepay my Pag-IBIG housing loan?

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.

How does Pag-IBIG compare to bank mortgages?

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.
