Which Package Suits Me

Ranks packages by rate, lock-in and your exit horizon.

Which mortgage package suits you is not the lowest rate; it is the lowest cost over the years you will actually hold the loan, after lock-in penalties, conversion fees and the rate the package reverts to. This tool ranks packages by fit for your horizon and your exit plan.

What you enter

  • Loan amount and how many years until you expect to sell or refinance
  • Whether you want the lowest rate, the fewest surprises, or freedom to exit

What you get

  • Packages ranked by total cost over your horizon
  • Lock-in and penalty exposure for each
  • The rate each reverts to after the fixed period

Worked example

$900,000, planning to sell in 3 years

A 2-year fixed beats a 3-year fixed by $4,200

Best fit
2-year fixed, no penalty in year 3
Runner-up
3-year fixed, penalty if sold early
Cost gap over horizon
$4,200

Illustrative, for a Singapore citizen couple, 35, first property, $12,000 a month between them, $250,000 cash and $200,000 in CPF Ordinary Account unless the case says otherwise. Your own numbers replace every figure the moment you use the tool.

The rule behind it, in prose: Home loan rates: fixed, floating, and when to refinance.

Answers: best mortgage package singapore, lock-in period, refinance vs reprice.
