Leeke1 2nd Gear August 27, 2014 Share August 27, 2014 wat is the % of monthly income for car? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pocus Turbocharged August 27, 2014 Share August 27, 2014 No hard a fast rule. The percentage decreases as you have other commitments like housing, kids, loans, etc Instead the question is "what is the cost to own and maintain a car" then work your way up 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damienic 5th Gear August 27, 2014 Share August 27, 2014 I think about 25% of the take home income (after cpf deduction). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Throttle2 Supersonic August 27, 2014 Share August 27, 2014 This topic has been discussed many times before. It is dependant on the situation one is in. That means life stage, commitments, income, etc etc... But you guys know my take on it lah.... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icedbs Turbocharged August 27, 2014 Share August 27, 2014 (edited) Mine used to be 6% of my monthly take home income. But that's quite a long time ago. I don't believe in paying more than 9% of my monthly for a depreciating item. Edited August 27, 2014 by Icedbs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nzy Twincharged August 27, 2014 Share August 27, 2014 (edited) how much monthly income? $5000 .... 20% only $1000 leh ... can service loan also no money to pump petrol liao ... lol If car fully paid then more than enough. When I was single I saved about $2000 a month. After 1 year, bought a 2 year old cheap car. Now with kids, my priorities changed already. This $2000 I used to save up/spend on luxury stuff is used for buying insurance, saving up for their education and my retirement.
