🏡 What is the Pag-IBIG Housing Loan?
The Pag-IBIG Housing Loan is a government-backed mortgage program administered by the Home Development Mutual Fund (HDMF), commonly known as the Pag-IBIG Fund, in the Philippines. It provides affordable long-term home financing to active Pag-IBIG members across all income brackets, with loan amounts up to PHP 6,000,000 and terms of up to 30 years. Because the rates are subsidized by the national government housing mandate, they are typically lower than commercial bank mortgage rates.
Borrowers can use a Pag-IBIG housing loan for several purposes: purchasing a lot, acquiring a house and lot or condominium unit, constructing a house on a lot they already own, improving or renovating an existing home, or refinancing a housing loan from another financial institution. The program is especially valuable for first-time homebuyers, government employees, and Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) who want access to mortgage financing at below-market rates.
The interest rate on a Pag-IBIG loan is set by the repricing period you choose at application. If you select a 5-year repricing period, your rate is fixed at 6.625% for the first five years. At the end of that period, your rate resets to whatever the Pag-IBIG prevailing rate is at that time for a new 5-year window. This mechanism is different from a fully fixed-rate mortgage (where the rate never changes) and from a variable-rate mortgage (where the rate moves every month or year). Choosing a longer repricing period means a higher starting rate but greater payment certainty for a longer period.
This calculator uses the official 2025 Pag-IBIG Fund rates from HDMF Circular 274. It computes your monthly amortization using the standard reducing-balance EMI formula and also shows total interest and total repayment over the full loan term. The Affordability Check mode applies the 35% capacity to pay rule to tell you the maximum loan amount your income supports at any rate and term combination.

What are the 2025 Pag-IBIG housing loan interest rates?
The 2025 Pag-IBIG Fund housing loan interest rates per HDMF Circular 274 are: 1-year repricing at 5.375%, 3-year at 6.375%, 5-year at 6.625%, 10-year at 7.375%, 15-year at 8.375%, 20-year at 8.875%, 25-year at 9.375%, and 30-year at 10.000%. These rates are fixed for the selected repricing period and then repriced at the prevailing rate upon renewal.
What is the maximum Pag-IBIG housing loan amount in 2025?
The maximum Pag-IBIG housing loan is PHP 6,000,000 as of 2025, per HDMF Circular 274. The actual loan granted is the lowest of: the maximum loan amount, 80% of the property's appraised value (90% for socialized housing), and the amount supported by your capacity to pay (35% of gross monthly income rule).
How do I qualify for a Pag-IBIG housing loan?
To qualify, you must be an active Pag-IBIG Fund member with at least 24 monthly contributions, not more than 65 years old at application or 70 years old at loan maturity, and have the legal capacity to acquire and encumber real property. You must also have no outstanding Pag-IBIG short-term loan in arrears and no previous Pag-IBIG housing loan that was foreclosed, cancelled, bought back, or subjected to dacion en pago.
How is monthly amortization calculated for a Pag-IBIG loan?
Pag-IBIG uses the standard reducing-balance EMI formula: M equals P times r times (1+r)^n divided by ((1+r)^n minus 1), where P is the loan amount, r is the monthly interest rate (annual rate divided by 12), and n is the number of months. For example, a PHP 2,500,000 loan at 6.625% for 20 years produces a monthly amortization of approximately PHP 18,777.
What is the repricing period in a Pag-IBIG housing loan?
The repricing period is the length of time your interest rate remains fixed before it is reviewed and adjusted to the prevailing rate. You choose from 1, 3, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, or 30 years. Shorter periods have lower initial rates but expose you to rate increases at the next repricing. Longer periods lock in a higher rate but protect you from future rate hikes throughout that window.
What is the 35% capacity to pay rule for Pag-IBIG loans?
Pag-IBIG uses a 35% capacity to pay guideline: your monthly amortization must not exceed 35% of your gross monthly income. If your income is PHP 60,000, your maximum allowable amortization is PHP 21,000. The Affordability Check mode on this calculator solves for the maximum loan amount that produces an amortization within that 35% ceiling for your chosen rate and term.
How long can I pay for a Pag-IBIG housing loan?
The maximum loan term for a Pag-IBIG housing loan is 30 years. The actual approved term is limited so that you will not exceed 70 years old at loan maturity. For example, a 40-year-old borrower can apply for a maximum term of 30 years (maturity at 70). A 50-year-old can only take a maximum of 20 years.
Can I prepay or pay in advance my Pag-IBIG housing loan?
Yes. Pag-IBIG housing loans allow full prepayment or partial prepayment at any time. There is no prepayment penalty. Any excess payment is applied to reduce the outstanding principal, which shortens your loan term and reduces total interest. You can make a lump-sum payment from a bonus or savings to accelerate payoff.
What documents are required for a Pag-IBIG housing loan application?
Required documents include: Pag-IBIG Member ID or proof of membership, housing loan application form, valid government-issued IDs, income documents (payslips, ITR, or Certificate of Employment for employees; financial statements for self-employed), property documents (TCT or CCT, lot plan, floor plan, contract to sell), and proof of contributions. Specific requirements vary by employment type and loan purpose.
How is the Pag-IBIG MRI premium computed?
Mortgage Redemption Insurance (MRI) is a decreasing-term life insurance that covers your Pag-IBIG loan in case of death or total and permanent disability. The premium is computed on the outstanding loan balance each month. The rate varies by age bracket: approximately 0.21% per annum for members in their 30s, rising with age. On a PHP 2,500,000 loan, the first-year MRI adds roughly PHP 438 per month for a 35-year-old borrower.
Are OFWs eligible for Pag-IBIG housing loans?
Yes. Overseas Filipino Workers with active Pag-IBIG Fund membership and at least 24 monthly contributions are eligible for housing loans. OFWs may authorize a representative in the Philippines through a Special Power of Attorney to process the application and comply with Pag-IBIG requirements. OFW income is recognized in the capacity to pay computation based on employment contracts or remittance records.
What is the difference between Pag-IBIG and bank housing loans?
Pag-IBIG loans are government-backed through the Home Development Mutual Fund and are accessible to all active members regardless of income level. Rates range from 5.375% to 10% depending on repricing period. Bank loans typically offer competitive rates but have stricter credit scoring, higher minimum incomes, and faster approval processes. Pag-IBIG is often the best option for middle-income earners due to subsidized rates and the maximum PHP 6,000,000 loan ceiling.
