Mortgage and home-buying calculators
Four tools that run your own numbers on published policy terms and official statistics
The mortgage calculator opens on a Qing-An 3.0 example: NT$10M over 40 years with a 5-year grace period. Payments during the grace period are NT$14,792 to NT$16,875, the first payment after it is NT$33,901, and the highest is NT$34,539. Terms and rates are read from data published by the Treasury of the Ministry of Finance, as of 2026-11-10. Back to the housing topic

Method and assumptions
The monthly rate is the annual rate divided by 12, with no daily accrual. Grace-period payments are interest only; when the grace period ends or the rate changes, the payment is recomputed from the balance and remaining months. Banks round each installment, so totals can differ by a few dozen dollars. Future floating rates are not forecast; step rates are whatever you enter. Qing-An 3.0 payments here are this site’s own calculation from the published rate steps, because neither the Ministry of Finance nor the state banks publish a payment table.
Equal-payment installment = principal × r × (1 + r)^n ÷ ((1 + r)^n − 1), where r is the monthly rate and n the number of months. Equal-principal repays balance ÷ remaining months each month, with interest falling as the balance falls.

Method and assumptions
Burden ratio = monthly payment ÷ monthly income; price-to-income = price ÷ annual income; equal-payment amortization. Level thresholds come from the notes published with the Ministry of the Interior index. County figures are 2026 Q1 medians built on a 20-year term, 70% loan and the official rate; the official table has no row for Lienchiang County.

Method and assumptions
The comparison uses the Treasury’s loan rules and Q&A. Where an item says the bank decides, the clause leaves the judgement to the lending bank and this tool does not draw a conclusion for it. Whether an applicant qualifies is up to the bank’s review at filing.
Whether buying or renting builds net worth first
Rent vs buy comparison
Compares net worth year by year on the buy path and the rent path. Whether prices rise or fall, and what the renter earns on the money saved, comes entirely from the assumptions you enter.
From year 23, net worth from buying passes net worth from renting
This result comes from placeholder assumptions. Replace them with your own numbers before reading anything into it.
- Net worth if buying End of year 30
- NT$14.4M
- Net worth if renting End of year 30
- NT$13.1M
- Buy minus rent
- +NT$1.32M
- Crossover year
- Year 23

Method and assumptions
Buyer net worth = home value less selling costs and loan balance. Renter net worth = the down payment plus one-off buying costs, plus the monthly difference saved, compounded at the return you enter. Whichever side spends more each month sets the shared budget, and the other side saves the difference. Mortgage interest deductions, tax differences and moving costs while renting are not included. The result depends entirely on your assumptions.
