Korean Housing Subscription Income Calculator
Add up household income and see how it compares to Korea's urban worker average
Use this tool when you're facing a Korean housing subscription (cheongyak) eligibility check and want to know what percentage of the income threshold your household hits. Enter each member's monthly income and it totals them up, then compares the result against the 100% urban worker average monthly income benchmark for your household size. All calculations run in your browser, so your income details are never sent to a server.

FAQ
- What is the 100% income benchmark based on?
- It reflects an approximation of the urban worker average monthly income by household size published each year by Korea's Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport. The figures may differ from the latest official notice in a specific subscription announcement, so treat this as a reference and confirm the exact numbers in the announcement itself.
- Why is 140% shown as the cutoff?
- Dual-income households applying under categories like the newlywed special supply often have their income ceiling raised to 140%, so we use it as a reference marker. The actual limit ranges from 140% to 160% depending on the subscription category.
- Is the income I enter saved or transmitted?
- No. Everything is calculated inside your browser, with no server storage and nothing sent anywhere.
