CPF Housing Usage — Rough Guide

How much OA can you
utilize for this property?

A quick estimate of the CPF Valuation Limit for a purchase, based on CPF Board's own rules — good for a ballpark in conversation, not for locking in numbers.

01
Owner(s)

The youngest owner's age at purchase drives the lease-adequacy test — CPF checks whether the remaining lease covers this person to age 95.

02
Property
HDB flat
Private / EC
99-year leasehold
Freehold / 999-year

Assumes a 99-year lease starting from the year built/TOP — the norm for HDB and most private leasehold projects. Freehold and 999-year leases always pass the lease-adequacy test, no proration applies.

03
CPF savings

This is combined Ordinary Account savings across all owners, at today's balance.
