Sample Computation

  • Purchase Price and Total Contract Price
    • Total Selling Price (TSP): ₱3,632,720.00Legal & Miscellaneous Fees: ₱435,200.00Total Contract Price (TCP): ₱4,067,920.00

    The Total Contract Price is simply the selling price plus any additional fees. These fees typically cover paperwork, taxes, and other costs that come with the purchase.

  • Equity (Down Payment) Computation
    • The equity or down payment is 10% of the Total Contract Price, which comes to ₱406,792.00.A Reservation Fee of ₱20,000.00 is deducted from that amount, leaving a Net Equity of ₱386,792.00.The net equity is spread out over 12 months, giving a Monthly Equity Payment of ₱32,232.67.

    Buyer Benefit Tip: Spreading out the down payment over 12 months makes it easier to manage compared to a one-time, lump-sum payment.

  • Bank Financing (Loan) Amount
    • The remaining 90% of the Total Contract Price would be financed by the bank: ₱3,661,128.00.The monthly mortgage depends on which loan term you choose (10, 15, or 20 years). Sample rates in the document are 7% fixed for 5 years:
      • 10 years: ~₱42,508.80 per month15 years: ~₱32,907.25 per month20 years: ~₱28,384.69 per month

    Buyer Benefit Tip: You can choose the loan duration that best fits your monthly budget. A longer term generally means a lower monthly payment, but you’ll pay more interest overall.

  • Income Requirements
    Banks typically assess your capacity to pay by looking at your Gross Monthly Income. A general rule (though it can vary by lender) is that your monthly amortization should not exceed around 30–40% of your gross monthly income. In the sample:
    • For a ~₱42,508.80 monthly payment (10-year loan), the recommended income is ~₱128,814.55.For a ~₱32,907.25 monthly payment (15-year loan), ~₱99,718.95.For a ~₱28,384.69 monthly payment (20-year loan), ~₱86,014.20.

    Buyer Benefit Tip: The bank looks at all your sources of income—salaries, business, side jobs, etc. If your personal income isn’t enough to meet the threshold, consider bringing in a co-borrower or co-owner. That way, you can combine incomes and have a better chance of qualifying for the loan.

  • Co-Borrower or Co-Ownership
    • If you’re worried that your current income may not be approved by the bank, you can have a co-borrower or co-owner (like a spouse or close relative) so the bank considers both incomes for the loan qualification.
    • This is a common approach to boost the combined income, improving your chances of approval.

  • Additional “Hidden” Advantages
    • Locking in a 7% rate for five years: If interest rates rise, you’re still protected for the initial five years. After the fixed period, interest can be re-priced, but you’ll have had the initial lower fixed rate.
    • Possible Early Payments: Some banks let you make partial lump-sum payments or pay off early. This can help you save on overall interest if you happen to earn extra money later.

Remember:

  1. Flexible Down Payment: 10% equity spread over 12 months at ~₱32,232.67 each month.
  2. Bank Amortization Options: Choose from 10, 15, or 20 years to get a monthly amortization that best fits your budget.
  3. You can always pay in cash or deferred payment with PDCs.
  4. Combined Income: Add a co-borrower if you need to reach the bank’s income requirement. Remember, they count all income streams—including side hustles.
  5. Plan Your Payment Strategy: If you expect more stable finances or higher earnings soon, you can go for a shorter loan term with a higher monthly amount but pay less interest overall. If you need a lower monthly payment now, a longer term might be best.
