Upgrader Planning • EC Readiness

EC Readiness Calculator Singapore

Estimate whether buying a new Executive Condominium may be realistic after checking HDB eligibility, income ceiling, first-timer or second-timer status, MOP, private-property ownership, MSR, TDSR, LTV, BSD, resale levy, downpayment, cash buffer, and EC rule framework.

This calculator is built for responsible EC planning. It does not confirm eligibility or loan approval. It helps buyers identify whether the EC path needs deeper verification before committing.

2026 EC rule awareness: For EC GLS sites with tender closing dates on or after 8 May 2026, buyers should plan for a 10-year MOP, 15-year full privatisation, no Deferred Payment Scheme, and stronger first-timer priority.

2. Loan Readiness

Estimates LTV, monthly instalment, MSR and TDSR using conservative planning assumptions.

3. Cash and CPF Buffer
