Pag-IBIG Housing Loan Interest Rate 2026
See the current 3%, 4.5% and 5.75% housing loan rates, who each tier may apply to, and what happens when the fixed period ends.
Quick answer
As of July 31, 2026, Pag-IBIG Fund is offering a 3% subsidized annual rate for eligible socialized housing borrowers, a 4.5% promotional annual rate for qualified loans above the socialized housing limit up to ₱4.9 million, and a 5.75% promotional annual rate for loans above ₱4.9 million up to the current ₱10 million maximum. The 4.5% and 5.75% promotional rates are fixed for the first three years and are available for qualified applications received through December 31, 2026.
Your approved rate can still depend on the property tier, eligibility, application date, loan amount and terms in your final loan documents. A promotional rate should not be assumed to remain unchanged for the full 20-year or 30-year loan term.
Current Pag-IBIG Housing Loan Interest Rate Table
The table below summarizes the rate tiers publicly announced for qualified 2026 housing loan applications. These are annual rates. Final approval and the exact terms in your loan documents control what you will actually pay.
| Annual rate | General housing tier | Initial fixed period | Important condition |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3% | Eligible socialized housing under Expanded 4PH | Program-specific subsidized terms | Not automatically available to every borrower. Eligibility and socialized housing rules apply. |
| 4.5% | Qualified loan amounts above the socialized housing limit up to ₱4.9 million | 3 years | Promotional rate for eligible applications received through December 31, 2026. |
| 5.75% | Qualified loan amounts above ₱4.9 million up to ₱10 million | 3 years | Promotional rate for eligible applications received through December 31, 2026. |
Which Pag-IBIG Housing Loan Rate May Apply to You?
The property price alone does not decide your final rate. Pag-IBIG also reviews the approved loan amount, property classification, borrower eligibility, affordability and the terms selected or offered in the application.
Socialized housing borrowers
The lowest 3% rate is a subsidized rate for eligible socialized housing borrowers under Expanded 4PH. Public 2026 announcements identify current socialized housing price ceilings of up to ₱950,000 for a house-and-lot unit and up to ₱1.8 million for a condominium unit.
Do not assume that buying a property below those amounts automatically guarantees the 3% rate. Borrower, project and program conditions still have to be satisfied. The planned article on Pag-IBIG Affordable Housing and 4PH will cover that eligibility in detail.
Regular and open-market borrowers
The 4.5% and 5.75% promotional tiers cover qualified financing above the socialized housing limit. The later July 2026 update places the boundary at ₱4.9 million, with larger approved loans up to ₱10 million using the 5.75% tier.
The amount Pag-IBIG approves can differ from the property selling price because appraisal, affordability and loan-to-value rules also matter.
- Property type and approved housing category
- Approved loan amount, not just asking price
- Eligibility for subsidized socialized housing
- Date the complete application is received
- Selected or approved repricing period
- Final terms in the notice of approval and loan agreement
Fixed Rate Period Is Different From the Loan Term
This is the most important point to understand before comparing rates. A three-year fixed rate describes how long the initial interest rate stays unchanged. A 30-year loan term describes how long you may take to repay the loan.
Fixed or repricing period
The announced 4.5% and 5.75% promotional rates are fixed for three years. During that initial period, the applicable rate is intended to remain the same under the approved loan terms.
Total repayment term
A housing loan may be payable for a much longer period, potentially up to 30 years for qualified borrowers. After the initial fixed period, the loan can be repriced according to the approved repricing framework.
Estimated Monthly Payments at the 2026 Rates
These examples use a standard amortizing-loan calculation over 30 years. They estimate principal and interest only. Actual billing can differ because of insurance, fees, exact release dates, rounding and future repricing.
| Illustrative loan | Annual rate | Term used | Estimated monthly principal and interest |
|---|---|---|---|
| ₱950,000 | 3% | 30 years | About ₱4,005 |
| ₱2,500,000 | 4.5% | 30 years | About ₱12,667 |
| ₱4,900,000 | 4.5% | 30 years | About ₱24,828 |
| ₱5,000,000 | 5.75% | 30 years | About ₱29,179 |
| ₱10,000,000 | 5.75% | 30 years | About ₱58,357 |
Standard Rates and Older Pag-IBIG Interest Rate Searches
Many search results still show older standard rates or tables from 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020. Those pages can explain a historical contract, but they should not be used to predict the rate for a new 2026 application.
Before the 2026 promotion
Pag-IBIG public information in 2025 described standard housing loan rates starting at 5.75% per annum for a one-year fixed period and 6.25% for a three-year fixed period. The 2026 promotion lowered the initial three-year rate for qualified applications to 4.5% or 5.75%, depending on the approved financing tier.
For an existing or older loan
Your applicable rate comes from your signed loan documents and the most recent repricing notice, not from the latest promotional advertisement. Borrowers with older accounts should check their statement, notice of repricing or official Pag-IBIG account information.
| Year searched | How to use the information safely |
|---|---|
| 2013 to 2016 | Use only for understanding a loan originated under older program rules. Verify the signed contract and later repricing notices. |
| 2017 to 2020 | Rates changed during this period, including reductions in 2020. They do not establish a new 2026 rate. |
| 2021 to 2025 | Useful for historical comparison. Standard rates cited in 2025 may have been temporarily replaced by the 2026 promotional schedule for qualified new applications. |
| 2026 | Use the current announcement, then confirm the exact approved rate and fixed period in your loan documents. |
How Housing Loan Repricing Works
Repricing means the interest rate is reviewed after the fixed period ends. Pag-IBIG’s housing loan application form allows applicants to indicate a desired repricing period, including 1, 3, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 or 30 years, but the final approved terms govern the account.
The initial rate is approved
Your loan documents state the annual rate, repayment term and repricing arrangement that apply at takeout.
The fixed period runs
For the current 4.5% and 5.75% promotion, the initial published fixed period is three years.
The account reaches repricing
At the scheduled date, the applicable rate may be adjusted under Pag-IBIG’s prevailing framework and your approved loan conditions.
Your monthly amortization may change
A higher rate generally raises the monthly payment or changes the repayment allocation. A lower rate can reduce the payment, subject to the account terms.
What Is Included in the Interest Rate?
The stated rate is the annual interest charged on the housing loan principal under the approved terms. It is not necessarily the same as the total all-in cost of keeping the account. Your monthly or upfront costs may also involve mortgage redemption insurance or sales redemption insurance, property insurance, appraisal or processing-related charges, taxes and title-transfer expenses depending on the transaction.
Interest
The financing charge applied to the outstanding loan balance under the approved annual rate.
Insurance
Insurance costs can be billed separately or included in amounts due, depending on the account and coverage.
Transaction costs
Appraisal, documentary, tax and transfer expenses are different from the interest rate and should be budgeted separately.
When comparing offers, ask for the estimated monthly amortization, all recurring charges, upfront cash requirements and the rule used after the fixed period. A lower headline rate can be less useful if the other costs or repricing terms do not match your budget.
Pag-IBIG Housing Loan Rates Versus Bank Rates
There is no single permanent winner because bank promotions and Pag-IBIG rates change. Compare offers issued on the same date and use the same loan amount, term and fixed period.
| Comparison point | What to check | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Initial annual rate | Compare the quoted rate for the same fixing period. | A one-year rate should not be compared directly with a five-year fixed rate. |
| Repricing rule | Ask when the rate changes and what benchmark or framework applies. | The post-fix payment may matter more than the first-year saving. |
| Fees and insurance | List appraisal, processing, insurance and account charges. | The headline rate does not show the entire borrowing cost. |
| Loan amount and equity | Compare approved financing against appraised value and required cash equity. | A low rate is less helpful if the approved amount leaves a large funding gap. |
| Prepayment and service | Check advance-payment rules, payment channels and account support. | Convenience and flexibility can affect the long-term cost and experience. |
The current Pag-IBIG promotion is especially relevant for borrowers who qualify for the 3%, 4.5% or 5.75% tiers. A bank may still suit a borrower who receives a competitive fixed-rate offer, needs a different property structure or values a particular banking relationship. Always compare written offers, not general advertisements.
Common Interest Rate Mistakes
Assuming the promo lasts for 30 years
The 4.5% and 5.75% rates are promoted as three-year fixed rates. A 30-year repayment term does not make the initial rate fixed for 30 years.
Using a 2019 rate table for a new loan
Historical tables can explain older accounts but cannot replace the current rate announcement or a written 2026 approval.
Confusing property price and approved loan
The rate tier is connected to the qualified financing amount and program classification, not simply the seller’s advertised price.
Ignoring the application deadline
The 4.5% and 5.75% promotional offer is stated for qualified applications received through December 31, 2026. A later application may follow a different schedule.
Comparing rates with different fixed periods
A lower one-year rate carries more frequent repricing risk than a longer fixed period. Match the fixed period before comparing.
Budgeting without a repricing buffer
Test whether the household can still pay if the annual rate rises after the initial fixed period.
How to Confirm Your Exact Pag-IBIG Interest Rate
Use public rate announcements for planning, but rely on your official loan documents for the binding account terms.
Check the latest official announcement
Confirm that the promotion is still available and that your application date falls within the published period.
Identify the approved housing tier
Ask whether the application is treated as socialized, low-cost or open-market financing and what approved loan amount is used.
Read the notice of approval
Check the annual rate, fixed or repricing period, loan term, estimated amortization and any insurance charges.
Compare the loan agreement before signing
Make sure the final documents match the rate and payment discussed during processing. Ask Pag-IBIG to explain any difference.
Keep every repricing notice
Existing borrowers should retain notices and statements so they can trace why the rate or monthly amortization changed.

What is the lowest Pag-IBIG housing loan rate?
The lowest announced rate is 3% per annum for eligible socialized housing borrowers under Expanded 4PH. It is a subsidized program rate and is not automatically available to every applicant.
Who can qualify for the 3% Pag-IBIG housing loan rate?
It is intended for eligible socialized housing borrowers under Expanded 4PH. Borrower income, first-home and project conditions may apply, so applicants should verify the current program rules directly with Pag-IBIG.

The later July 2026 update describes the 4.5% promotional tier for qualified loan amounts above the socialized housing limit up to ₱4.9 million. The published initial fixed period is three years.
When does the 5.75% promotional rate apply?
It is described for qualified approved loan amounts above ₱4.9 million up to the current ₱10 million maximum, with an initial three-year fixed period.
Are Pag-IBIG housing loan interest rates per annum?
Yes. Published rates such as 3%, 4.5% and 5.75% are annual interest rates. Monthly amortization is calculated using the annual rate converted into the applicable periodic rate under the loan computation.
Is the 4.5% rate fixed for the whole loan term?
No. The announced 4.5% promotional rate is fixed for the initial three years. A loan payable over 20 or 30 years can be repriced after that fixed period under the approved terms.
What does a three-year repricing period mean?
It means the initial rate is fixed for three years. At the scheduled repricing date, the interest rate may be adjusted according to Pag-IBIG’s prevailing framework and the conditions in the loan documents.
What happens to the rate after three years?
The rate may change at repricing. The exact future rate cannot be known today because it depends on the prevailing pricing framework and the borrower’s approved loan conditions at that time.
Can I choose a one-year, five-year or longer repricing period?
The official housing loan application lists desired repricing choices of 1, 3, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30 years. Available and approved options can depend on the product and current pricing schedule.
How much is a ₱2.5 million loan at 4.5% for 30 years?
A standard principal-and-interest estimate is about ₱12,667 per month. Insurance, fees, rounding, release timing and later repricing can change the actual amount due.
How is Pag-IBIG housing loan interest calculated?
Planning estimates normally use an amortizing-loan formula based on principal, annual interest rate and remaining term. Use the approved rate in the housing loan calculator and treat the result as an estimate until Pag-IBIG issues the official computation.
Will an existing Pag-IBIG loan automatically receive the 2026 promo rate?
Do not assume that it will. Existing accounts are governed by their contracts and repricing terms. Ask Pag-IBIG whether any current program applies to your specific account.
Is Pag-IBIG always cheaper than a bank housing loan?
Not in every situation. Compare written offers using the same loan amount, fixed period and term, then include insurance, fees, required equity and post-fix repricing rules.
Can I still use Pag-IBIG interest rate tables from 2018 or 2019?
Use them only to understand an older loan or historical change. They should not be used as the current rate for a new 2026 application.
Until when are the 4.5% and 5.75% promotional rates available?
Public announcements state that qualified housing loan and acquired-asset long-term installment applications received through December 31, 2026 may avail of the promotion, subject to final eligibility and approval.
Where can I verify my exact approved interest rate?
Check the notice of approval, disclosure and loan agreement issued for your account. For clarification, contact Pag-IBIG through its official channels or visit a branch.
