How it is calculated
Financed amount = apartment price − down payment, repaid monthly at a declining rate over the whole term. The calculator shows the instalment, the interest over the term and the total you pay including the down payment.
The initiatives: from 15 October 2025 the rate is 12% declining for middle-income and 8% declining for low-income borrowers on new loans (existing loans were not affected). A published bank example: up to 80% financing (20% down) and up to 25 years for a unit up to EGP 2.5 million. Social Housing Fund units have their own conditions, and income limits differ between banks and announcements, so check the current one.
Income limit: Central Bank of Egypt rules (December 2019) cap a mortgage instalment at 40% of your monthly income.
An estimate. There are other costs: valuation, application fees and life insurance (free in the initiatives at some banks).
