Why this matters

Your bank is counting on you not checking.

BDO Unibank is one of the Philippines' largest and most trusted home loan providers, making "BDO housing loan computation" one of the most searched mortgage terms in the country. Whether you're buying a ready-for-occupancy condo, a house-and-lot in a subdivision, or refinancing an existing loan, understanding your monthly amortisation before you commit is essential. The table below breaks down estimated monthly payments for popular loan amounts — ₱1M, ₱2M, ₱3M, and ₱5M — at BDO's current 1-year fixed rate of 6.00% p.a., computed over a 20-year term. Keep in mind that after the fixed period reprices, your rate — and therefore your amortisation — can change, which is why many borrowers monitor the market and refinance when better rates become available. See how BDO compares to PNB if you're still shopping between lenders.

If you already have a home loan — whether with BDO or another bank — and your current rate is above 7%, there's a strong chance you're overpaying every single month. As a Nook partner bank, BDO offers refinancing at 6.00% p.a. (1-year fixed), which is significantly lower than the 7.50%–10% rates many Filipino homeowners are still locked into. On a ₱3,000,000 loan with 20 years remaining, moving from 8.50% to 6.00% translates to nearly ₱4,000 in monthly savings — that's over ₱46,000 back in your pocket every year. Nook's service is completely free to borrowers: we handle the paperwork, coordinate with the bank, and find you the best available rate across our entire panel of partner banks. Compare UCPB and BDO refinancing rates to see the full picture.

Qualifying for a BDO housing loan or refinance requires a minimum monthly income of ₱50,000, and BDO accepts a wide range of employment types including private employees, government workers, BPO staff, OFWs, seafarers, self-employed individuals, and licensed professionals. The maximum debt-to-income ratio is 40%, meaning your total monthly loan obligations — including the new amortisation — should not exceed 40% of your gross monthly income. Typical approval takes around 30 days. Whether you're computing a new BDO home loan or considering refinancing your current mortgage, Nook can walk you through the numbers and submit your application at no cost. Note that all interest rates are subject to change — always verify current rates before making a financial decision.

Common questions

What Filipino homebuyers and homeowners researching BDO housing loan computations ask us.

How is a BDO housing loan amortisation computed?

BDO housing loan amortisations are computed using standard reducing-balance (amortising) loan math, where each monthly payment covers both interest and a portion of the principal. For example, a ₱2,000,000 loan at 6.00% p.a. over 20 years results in a monthly payment of approximately ₱14,329. You can use Nook's free calculator to generate an accurate computation for your specific loan amount, rate, and term.

What is BDO's current housing loan interest rate?

As a Nook partner bank, BDO currently offers a 1-year fixed rate of 6.00% p.a. for both new home loans and refinancing. After the fixed period, the rate will be repriced based on prevailing market conditions. Always confirm the latest rates directly with BDO or through Nook, as rates are subject to change.

Can I refinance my existing home loan to BDO through Nook?

Yes — if you have an existing home loan with any bank and your current rate is above 6.00%, refinancing to BDO through Nook may significantly reduce your monthly amortisation. Nook's refinancing service is 100% free to borrowers; we handle document collection, bank coordination, and rate negotiation on your behalf. Most refinancing applications through Nook are approved within 30 days.

What are the income requirements for a BDO housing loan?

BDO requires a minimum monthly gross income of ₱50,000 for housing loan applicants. BDO accepts multiple income sources and employment types, including private sector employees, government workers, BPO employees, OFWs, seafarers, self-employed individuals, and professionals. Your total monthly debt obligations — including the new housing loan payment — must not exceed 40% of your gross monthly income.

How much can I save by refinancing to BDO's 6.00% rate?

The savings depend on your current rate, outstanding balance, and remaining term. On a ₱3,000,000 loan with 20 years remaining, moving from 8.50% to 6.00% saves approximately ₱3,892 per month — or over ₱46,000 per year.
