Question of the day.
Hi, I am earning rm2800 minus my bonus and commissions. I am looking to get a house in kl. I would be a first-time buyer. Can I get more info on that? Thank you
Answer:
Hi, thanks for your question and I will straight answer your question.
1. Calculate You Loan Entitlement
First of all, we need to know your loan entitlement. So, I’m going to assume your net income is RM2800, and you have at least one commitment, maybe a credit card.
Let said, your credit card outstanding is RM2000. So, the minimum amount you need to pay is RM2000 x 5% = RM100.
Alright. Net income RM2800. Commitment RM100.
Note: The bank will consider commission and bonus if you can prove the consistency of receiving such income for months and years. If they accept, your loan entitlement can be higher.
How much loan can you take?
To calculate, we need to know your maximum Debt Service Ratio (DSR).
RM2800 x 60% (max DSR) = RM1680.
Note: The range of bank DSR is from 60% to 85%, depending on the borrower’s net income. For the sake of calculation, we’re using the average DSR of 60%.
Now, the maximum commitments allowable to have is RM1680. And you have one existing obligation of RM100, minus that your balance is RM1580.
Therefore, your new home loan installment cannot exceed RM1580.
So, the next step I’m using a financial calculator app, where you key in the installment amount, maximum tenure 35 years, interest rates of 3.30%, and Boom! Your maximum loan amount entitlement is RM393,000.
Now, you know the maximum loan you can go to is RM393,000. And to know the house price, Follow this formula.
Maximum entitle loan / 90% margin = Purchase Price
RM393,000/ 90% = RM436,000
So, it would be best if you are aiming at a house price of below RM436,000.
Disclaimer:
The above calculation is not final. And you’ll still subject to bank’s approval, and there are still many aspects to look at for a bank to approve your loan. Therefore, it is best to consult us before proceeding with any house booking.
