How to Use the Happiness Housing Eligibility Calculator
Happiness Housing (Haengbok Jutaek) is a Korean public rental housing program that offers below-market rent to students, newlyweds, and young professionals. The youth category requires applicants to be aged 19-39, own no home, earn no more than 100% of the prior year's average urban worker household income (about ₩3,438,362/month for a single household), and hold total assets of ₩292 million or less.
Enter your age, monthly income, total assets, and homeless period to see whether you meet the basic eligibility requirements and your estimated score across homeless period, income, and asset categories. A higher score improves your competitive rank within the same priority group, but actual scoring tables and priority conditions vary by notice, region, and housing type — always check the official MyHome Portal or LH announcement before applying.
