Method, policy basis, and limitations

How the estimate is built

The estimate applies the effective-dated NHT joint-application bands, contribution tests, age-based term rules, qualifying public-sector concessions, and property-bedroom conditions. It then combines profile income and household debts for affordability and models the NHT and commercial portions independently.

Important limitation

This is a policy screening and planning estimate, not NHT eligibility approval, a bank offer, a credit assessment, or legal advice. NHT and lender verification, credit checks, valuation, insurance, fees, property eligibility, title matters, and effective policy changes can alter the final amount and cash required.

Your inputs

Enter the values you know. Required fields should be completed first, and optional fields can be left blank if they do not apply to your situation.

Preparing your input checklist Visible required fields are checked as you complete them.

Property and closing cash

Describe the property, transaction costs, deposit, and total cash available for closing.

Application date Required Eligibility bands and policy rules are selected as at this date.

Property price Required Minimum: 0.01.

Property bedrooms Required Important: the current three-applicant JMD 23 million policy band requires a property with at least two bedrooms. If the property has fewer than two bedrooms, that higher band will not be applied. Accepted range: 1 to 20.

Estimated closing costs Required Legal fees, valuation, registration, lender fees, insurance setup, and other cash costs outside the purchase price. Minimum: 0.00.

Deposit/down payment applied to the property price Required Minimum: 0.00.

Total cash available at closing Optional Optional. Enter all liquid cash available for the deposit and closing costs—not just the deposit. The result will show any surplus or shortfall. Minimum: 0.00.

Requested financing split

Enter the requested NHT and bank portions when you have a proposed split, or leave them blank to let the calculator reconcile the eligible structure.

Requested NHT loan amount Optional Optional. Enter the NHT portion you want to test; eligibility and the combined policy entitlement still cap the modeled amount. Minimum: 0.00.

Requested bank loan amount Optional Optional commercial-lender portion. The result identifies any mismatch between the requested split and the financing needed. Minimum: 0.00.

Quoted/assumed NHT base annual rate % Required Enter the NHT rate quoted to you, or a planning assumption. The calculator compares it with the policy rate derived from average applicant income and reports any variance. Minimum: 0.00.

NHT term years Required Minimum: 1.00.

Bank annual rate % Required Minimum: 0.00.

Bank term years Required Minimum: 1.00.

First repayment date Optional Optional. Add repayment dates to the complete joint-financing schedule.

Applicant eligibility profiles

Contribution history is screened per applicant. The youngest applicant age drives the modeled joint term, while profile incomes are combined for affordability.

Applicant profiles Structured input Add one complete profile for each applicant (minimum one, maximum three). Profile row count is the application count. Each weekly income contributes to the household affordability assessment.

Household affordability

Add recurring debt payments and housing costs so the result can show housing-payment and total debt-service ratios.

Existing household debts Structured input Add each debt's outstanding balance and required monthly payment. Monthly payments are included in the total debt-service ratio.

Maximum affordable monthly housing payment Optional Optional affordability ceiling for the combined loan payment, insurance, and service charges. Minimum: 0.00.

Monthly insurance and service charges Optional Minimum: 0.00.
