LinkTown Residences Calculators: Stamp Duty, Loan, Payments and Yield
Four calculators for Hougang Central Residences in one place: stamp duty, maximum loan, the progressive payment schedule and rental yield, pre-filled with an illustrative 2-bedroom price.
These calculators let you put your own numbers against LinkTown Residences (Hougang Central Residences) before prices are released. Each one is pre-filled with S$1,695,000, an illustrative price for the indicative 678 sq ft 2-bedroom at S$2,500 psf. Change the figures to match any unit or budget. The rates behind them come from IRAS and MAS as published; results are estimates, so confirm with IRAS, your bank and your lawyer before you commit.
Stamp duty calculator (BSD and ABSD)
Enter a price, choose your residency status and how many homes you will own after this purchase. The calculator applies the six Buyer’s Stamp Duty tiers, from 1% on the first S$180,000 up to 6% above S$3 million, then adds ABSD for your profile. On a new launch, both are due within 14 days of signing the Sale and Purchase Agreement. It does not apply remissions, such as the married-couple ABSD refund, which IRAS assesses separately.
Stamp duty calculator (BSD + ABSD)
Estimates for illustration only, based on published IRAS/MAS rules. Rates change; confirm with IRAS, your bank and your lawyer.
For the full rules, see our stamp duty guide for new launches and the ABSD guide.
Mortgage calculator: maximum loan under TDSR
This mortgage calculator works backwards from income. It caps total monthly debt at 55% of gross income, deducts existing commitments such as a car loan, then converts the balance into a loan at the higher of your chosen rate or the 4% stress-test rate. Tenure is capped at 30 years, and the loan-to-value limit follows the number of housing loans you already have: 75%, 45% or 35%. Longer tenures, or loans that run past age 65, reduce the LTV limit, which the calculator does not model.
Maximum loan & affordability (TDSR)
Estimates for illustration only, based on published IRAS/MAS rules. Rates change; confirm with IRAS, your bank and your lawyer.
Our TDSR guide shows the income each indicative LinkTown unit needs, and home loan rates covers what banks are offering now.
Progressive payment calculator
New launches are paid in stages as the building goes up. Enter a price to see each instalment: 5% at the option, 15% at the S&P, six construction stages, then 25% at TOP and 15% at CSC. The first 20% falls due within about eight weeks, and at least 5% of the price must be cash on a first loan. Stamp duties are separate, and the timing of later stages depends on construction progress.
Progressive payment calculator
Estimates for illustration only, based on published IRAS/MAS rules. Rates change; confirm with IRAS, your bank and your lawyer.
The payment scheme page explains each stage, and whether LinkTown will offer anything other than the normal scheme is yet to be announced.
Rental yield calculator
Enter a price, a monthly rent and your yearly running costs to get gross and net yield. There are no leases for LinkTown Residences yet, so the rent is your assumption: test a cautious figure, not a hopeful one. Our rental potential guide looks at what drives tenant demand around Hougang Central. The result excludes mortgage interest, empty months and agent fees, and no rent is earned before completion, expected around 2030/2031.
