At 46.3%, you sit in the safe zone (under 50%): debt takes a smaller share of income, which many households find manageable — lenders still apply their own rules. Total commitments RM 3,700 versus gross income RM 8,000.
Illustrative bands only — each bank sets its own DSR limits, income definition, and haircuts.

Tips
- DSR (debt service ratio) = total monthly loan instalments ÷ gross monthly income × 100%.
- Include existing commitments plus the new home loan instalment you are modelling.
- This page uses simple bands: under 50% as safer headroom, 50–70% as moderate, above 70% as stretched — banks apply their own caps.
Local insight (Malaysia)

- Singapore-dollar earners should confirm FX haircuts and how bonuses are counted.
