Think you might require an update to the mortgage table. Above 7k, you cannot loan from hdb for singles

Thanks for sharing. The table was meant to accommodate all incomes whether Single or applying under another scheme just as a reference, but we’ll make a note of it in the table.

@Kai Cong, that only applies to new BTO, and BTO would less likely hit the mark above 450K for a 2-room (where singles can only apply for). For resale flats, regardless of a 2-room, a 3-room, or even a 4-room, the loan amount granted from HDB depends on the remaining flat balance lease years and there are no income cap/ceiling for a loan.
