Loan-to-Value (LTV) Ratios
The maximum loanable amount depends on the property value:
| Property Value | Maximum LTV | Minimum Down Payment |
|---|---|---|
| Up to ₱2,499,999.99 | 95% | 5% |
| ₱2,500,000 and above | 90% | 10% |
A = P × [r(1+r)n] / [(1+r)n - 1]
Where: P = Principal, r = Monthly interest rate, n = Number of months
The 35% Rule for Affordability
Pag-IBIG limits your monthly amortization to a maximum of 35% of your gross monthly income. This ensures that borrowers can comfortably afford their loan payments while meeting other financial obligations.
Example Calculation
If your gross monthly income is ₱40,000:
- Maximum monthly amortization: ₱40,000 × 35% = ₱14,000
- At 30-year term (9.75% rate): Maximum loan = approximately ₱1.63 million
- At 10-year term (7.125% rate): Maximum loan = approximately ₱1.21 million
