About Housing Loan Calculator (Philippines)
This calculator prices a Philippine home loan with the reducing-balance amortization formula — the exact monthly-rest math Pag-IBIG Fund and commercial banks like BDO, BPI and Metrobank use. With the default inputs (₱3,000,000 borrowed at 7.5% for 15 years) it shows the instalment, the lifetime interest and a year-by-year split of principal versus interest, then recomputes instantly as you key in the offer actually in front of you. Philippine housing-loan rates are fixed only for a chosen repricing period — commonly 1, 3 or 5 years — after which the bank resets the rate; longer fixing costs more upfront but caps your repricing risk. Pag-IBIG (HDMF) lends up to ₱6 million on its regular program with its own rate matrix and up to 30-year terms, and is often the sharpest deal for members with steady contributions; banks compete on service speed and higher loanable values. Budget the 'hidden' peso costs lenders don't finance: documentary stamp tax, transfer tax, registration and notarial fees (several percent combined), plus fire/MRI insurance folded into the monthly amortization. On repricing date, ask for the bank's current published rate for your bracket and threaten to refinance — Philippine banks routinely match competitors to keep seasoned, well-paying accounts.

Frequently asked questions
How is the EMI on a Philippine home loan calculated?+
Lenders apply EMI = P·r·(1+r)^n ÷ ((1+r)^n − 1). With the defaults here, P = ₱3,000,000, the monthly rate r = 7.5% ÷ 12 and n = 180 months. Early instalments are interest-heavy; the principal share grows each month as the outstanding balance falls — the schedule above shows that crossover year.
Pag-IBIG or bank housing loan — which is cheaper?+
For qualified members borrowing within Pag-IBIG's caps, Pag-IBIG's subsidized brackets often beat bank pricing, especially for smaller principal amounts, and it accepts longer terms. Banks win on bigger loans, faster processing and promo fixed rates. Compute both in this calculator with each quoted rate and compare total interest, not just the monthly.
What happens at the end of my repricing period?+
The bank resets your rate to its prevailing rate for the next period — your amortization is recomputed on the outstanding balance and remaining term. Before accepting, get quotes from two other banks; refinancing ('loan takeout') is common and the savings on a multi-million-peso balance usually dwarf the switching fees.
Does choosing a longer tenure make the loan cheaper?+
No — it only shrinks the monthly outgo. Stretching the same ₱3,000,000 from 15 to 20 years cuts the EMI but raises lifetime interest substantially, because interest keeps accruing on a slowly-falling balance. Compare the "Total interest" figure at both tenures before signing.
