Which HDB grants can you get?

A quick check of the CPF housing grants a first-timer buyer may qualify for on a resale flat, with the published amounts. It applies the public rules to your answers - it is not advice, and the exact figure always comes from your HDB Flat Eligibility (HFE) letter.

Part of step 5 - the real costs, and what brings them down: which CPF Housing Grants you may qualify for.

How to read this page

Answer a few questions about your household and the flat; the checker estimates the grants you may be eligible for.

Eligibility is set by HDB and can change, so confirm with them before you count on it. For the costs grants offset, see buying costs.

Who is buying?

Citizenship of the couple

Flat size

Average gross monthly household income before CPF, all buyers

Will you live with, or near, your parents (or child)? for the Proximity Grant

Grants you may be eligible for $0

Grants go into your CPF and reduce what you need for the downpayment, not the price of the flat. The affordability calculator works out the highest price your income and savings can support.

How this works

It assumes a first-timer household buying a resale flat and applies the published grant rules as of 2026 - second-timer, mixed first/second-timer, and non-citizen cases differ, and every amount is confirmed only in your HFE letter.

CPF Housing Grant (Family): 2- to 4-room $80,000 (both Citizens) or $70,000 (Citizen + PR); 5-room or larger $50,000 / $40,000; household income ceiling $14,000.

Singles Grant (Citizen, aged 35+, buying alone): 2- to 4-room $40,000, 5-room $25,000; income ceiling $7,000.

Enhanced CPF Housing Grant (EHG): up to $120,000 (families) or $60,000 (singles), tiered by income up to a ceiling of $9,000 / $4,500 - HDB does not publish the per-income amounts, so this tool shows eligibility and the maximum only; your exact EHG is in your HFE letter, and it is pro-rated if the flat's lease will not cover the youngest buyer to age 95.

Proximity Housing Grant: living with family $30,000 (singles $15,000), or within 4km $20,000 (singles $10,000); no income ceiling.
