Debt Service Ratio (DSR) Calculation for Housing Loan in Malaysia

DEBT SERVICE RATIO FORMULA

Income

Income per month

Basic Salary + Fix Allowance = Gross Income

Example:

Item RM
Basic Salary RM5000.00
Fix Allowance RM500.00

Gross Income: RM5500.00

Deduction

EPF + Socso + Tax = Total Deducation

Example:

Item RM
EPF RM550.00
Socso RM14.75
Tax RM300.00

Total Deduction: RM864.75

Nett Income

Nett Income = Gross Income - Total Deduction

Example:

Nett Income: RM5500.00 - RM864.75 = RM4635.25

Monthly Commitment

  • New Loan / Financing = A
  • Car Loan = B
  • Personal Loan = C
  • Credit Card Use = Credit Limit × 5% = D
A + B + C + D = Total Commitment

Example:

Item RM Remark
New Loan / Financing RM1500.00 -
Car Loan RM750.00 -
Personal Loan RM500.00 -
Credit Card RM150.00 RM3000 × 5%

Total Commitment: RM2900.00

DSR

DSR = (Total Commitment ÷ Nett Income) × 100

CASE 1: Nett Income below RM3500, max. DSR qualification is 40%.

CASE 2: Nett Income RM3500 and above, max. DSR qualification is 70%.

Example:

DSR = (RM2900 ÷ RM4635.25) × 100 = 62.56%

Based on Case 2, 62.56% is within the maximum DSR qualification range (1% - 70%), so theoretically it's QUALIFIED for the housing loan.

This is just for the reference only. However, different bank has different DSR. Some people got more than the max. DSR qualification, but still got their loan approved by the bank.
