Where does my money go?

Follow your sale proceeds step by step — from selling your flat, into two wallets (bank + CPF), then paying for the new flat. Updates live when you edit My Own below.

Live · My Own
Step 1
You sell your flat — the money gets split
The buyer pays one price. From that pot, you clear the loan, refund CPF, pay fees — then whatever's left lands in your bank.
Sale price 700,000
−211,000 Pay off bank loan — goes to the bank, not to you.
−157,430 Refund CPF — leaves the sale, but credits your CPF Ordinary Account (not your bank).
−2,000 Legal / conveyancing — paid from sale in cash.
329,570 Lands in your bank account — this is your cash after the sale.
Why does CPF come back? You used CPF to buy this flat. On sale, Singapore rules require you to repay CPF (plus interest) from the proceeds. That money doesn't vanish — it moves into your CPF OA wallet, ready for your next flat. It's the same dollars, not a bonus.
Step 2
You now have two wallets for the next flat
Cash and CPF are separate. You can't pay everything from one pocket — HDB rules decide which costs come from where.
Bank (cash)
329,570
From sale, after loan + CPF refund + fees
CPF OA
157,430
Refunded from sale (Owner 1 + Owner 2 CPF)
Combined spending power: 487,000 (cash + CPF — not all cash!)
Step 3
Buying the new flat — each wallet pays its share
Some costs must be cash (e.g. part of down payment, stamp duty, fees). The rest can come from CPF OA, up to limits.
Paid from bank
−92,500
Cash required: 5% down payment, stamp duty, legal — amounts you typically cannot cover fully with CPF.
Paid from CPF OA
−384,100
CPF required: remaining down payment + CPF earmarked for the new flat purchase.
Step 4
What's left after you buy — your cushion
If either wallet goes negative, you don't have enough — you'd need more savings, a smaller flat, or different financing.
Cash left in bank
237,070
For renovations, emergency fund, living expenses
CPF OA left
24,185
Buffer in CPF for future installments / rules

What can I buy?

Your full wallet (beyond sale refund)

CPFIS must be liquidated back to OA before property use. Existing OA is what you already had before this sale's refund lands.

Clarry PDF — 3 purchase paths

From Clarry Au's PDF. These were static scenarios — now recalculated with your sale numbers.

Explore property types

Edit price & assumptions per card. Total monthly = mortgage + maintenance + property tax + insurance + cleaning.

Illustration only — not financial or tax advice. Appreciation % are rough historical-style guesses (HDB ~2.5%, EC ~3.5%, private ~3% p.a.) and will be wrong in real life. Loan amounts ignore MSR/TDSR income caps. ABSD defaults to 0% (sell-then-buy, SC first home). Verify with HDB, CPF, bank, and a licensed advisor.
