How HDB Grants Work
HDB grants are direct subsidies that reduce the purchase price of your flat. The main grants available are the Enhanced CPF Housing Grant (EHG), CPF Housing Grant, and Proximity Housing Grant (PHG).
The EHG is income-tiered, meaning lower-income households receive more. It ranges from $5,000 to $120,000 based on average monthly household income. Both applicants must have been continuously employed for at least 12 months before application.
Grants can be stacked — a first-time buyer purchasing a resale flat near parents could receive EHG + Family Grant + PHG, potentially totalling over $200,000 in subsidies. Once you know your grant amount, check how much flat you can afford with our HDB Affordability Calculator.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much is the Enhanced CPF Housing Grant (EHG)?expand_more
The Enhanced CPF Housing Grant (EHG) provides up to $120,000 for eligible first-time applicants buying a new or resale HDB flat. The grant amount is tiered based on average monthly household income — households earning $1,500 or less receive the maximum $120,000, while those earning up to $9,000 receive progressively smaller amounts. Both applicants must have worked for at least 12 months.
What is the Proximity Housing Grant (PHG)?expand_more
The Proximity Housing Grant (PHG) provides up to $30,000 for families and $15,000 for singles who buy a resale flat to live near or with their parents or married children. You qualify if you live within 4 km of your parents/married children, or in the same flat. This grant is available for both first-time and second-time buyers.
What is the CPF Housing Grant for resale flats?expand_more
First-time Singapore citizen households buying a resale HDB flat can receive the Family Grant of $50,000 (if both are SC) or $40,000 (SC/PR couple). Singles aged 35+ can receive the Singles Grant of $25,000. These grants are separate from EHG and PHG, so you can stack multiple grants together.
Can I get grants for a BTO flat?expand_more
Yes, first-time BTO applicants can receive the Enhanced CPF Housing Grant (EHG) of up to $120,000. However, the CPF Housing Grant (Family Grant) and Proximity Housing Grant (PHG) are only available for resale flat purchases. For BTOs, the EHG is the primary grant available.
Do I qualify for grants if I previously owned an HDB flat?expand_more
Second-time buyers have limited grant options. You are not eligible for EHG or the CPF Housing Grant (Family Grant). However, you may still qualify for the Proximity Housing Grant (PHG) of up to $30,000 when buying a resale flat near parents or married children. The Step-Up CPF Housing Grant of $15,000 is available for specific upgrading scenarios.
