How to use this mortgage calculator

This calculator estimates the monthly payment on a Cambodia home loan using the standard amortization formula. Enter the property price, choose your down payment percentage, select a loan term, and pick an interest rate. The amortization schedule below shows how each monthly payment is split between principal and interest over the life of the loan.

What the inputs mean

  • Property pricethe agreed purchase price in USD (Cambodia property is typically priced in dollars, even for boreys and land).
  • Down paymentthe portion you pay upfront. Most Cambodian banks require 20–30% for condos with hard title, 30–40% for soft-titled property or land.
  • Loan termhow many years to repay. Common terms are 15, 20, and 25 years.
  • Interest ratepick from preset rates or enter your own. Use Advanced mode to model a promotional intro rate followed by a standard rate.

Modelling a promotional rate

Many Cambodian banks offer a lower rate for the first 1–3 years of a mortgage, then revert to a higher standard rate. A typical example: 4.95% For years 1–2, Then standard 6.50% For years 3–20. Tap Advanced and enable the promotional intro rate option to model this. The calculator will recompute the monthly payment when the standard rate kicks in.

Cambodia context

What is typical for Cambodia home loans

Mortgage products in Cambodia have specific characteristics that differ from other markets. Most loans are denominated in USD rather than Riel. Down payment requirements are higher than in Western markets — banks rarely offer the 5–10% down options common in the US or Europe. Interest rates are floating with periodic resets, but most banks structure them as a fixed intro rate followed by a standard rate.

Title type affects what you can borrow

Hard title (ប្លង់រឹង / LMAP) properties are preferred by banks because they are legally cleaner. You will typically get higher loan-to-value ratios (up to 80%) and lower rates. Soft title properties can sometimes be financed but at lower LTV (60–70%) and higher rates. Strata title condos are widely accepted by banks for both Cambodian and foreign buyers.

Foreign buyer considerations

Foreigners can mortgage strata-titled condominium units on floors 2 and above. Most banks require a Cambodian guarantor or proof of local income. Foreigners cannot directly own land in Cambodia and therefore cannot mortgage land, boreys, or villas in their own name — these typically require a Cambodian spouse or nominee structure.

Frequently asked

Common questions about Cambodia mortgages

What is the average mortgage interest rate in Cambodia?

Commercial bank mortgage rates in Cambodia typically range from 5% to 9% per year, with promotional intro rates as low as 4.95% for the first 1–3 years. Standard rates usually settle between 6.5% and 8.5%. Rates depend on the bank, your loan-to-value ratio, property type, and title.

How much down payment do I need?

Most Cambodian banks require a minimum down payment of 20–30% of the property price. For hard-titled properties, banks may accept 20%; for soft-titled property or land without LMAP, banks typically require 30–40% down or may decline financing entirely.

Can foreigners get a mortgage in Cambodia?

Foreigners can obtain mortgages for strata-titled condominiums on floors 2 and above. Most banks require a Cambodian guarantor or local income source. Foreigners cannot own land directly and therefore cannot mortgage land or landed property in their own name.

What is a promotional intro rate?

A promotional intro rate is a discounted interest rate offered for the first 1–3 years of a mortgage. After the promotional period ends, the rate reverts to the bank's standard rate. For example, a bank may offer 4.95% for years 1–2, then 6.50% for the remaining 18 years.

How is the monthly mortgage payment calculated?

Monthly payment uses the amortization formula: P x (r x (1+r)^n) / ((1+r)^n - 1), where P is the loan principal, r is the monthly rate (annual / 12), and n is the number of monthly payments (years x 12). For step-rate loans, the calculation is performed in two phases.

What loan term is standard for Cambodia home loans?

Cambodian home loan terms typically range from 10 to 25 years, with 20 years being the most common. Longer terms reduce the monthly payment but increase total interest paid.
