これの読み方: The wizard confirms zero ABSD and summarises the full upfront cost: 25% downpayment ($375,000 CPF + cash), BSD $44,600, legal ~$4,000. Cash floor: $75,000 OTP exercise fee must be cash; remaining $300,000 can be CPF. At $5,631/month mortgage, the household needs at least $10,238/month gross income to comply with TDSR (55%). The wizard shows this TDSR check on the same screen — if the buyer earns $12,000/month, they pass with headroom; if they earn $9,000/month, they are borderline and the tenure or price needs to change.
