# HDB BTO priority schemes & ballot chance matcher (FPPS, FCS, FT(PMC))

Check which **HDB BTO priority schemes** may apply to your declared profile, how many **ballot chances** you receive (1, 2 or 3), and what **flat supply quota** is set aside for your household under HDB's updated priority framework — including **First-Timer (Parents & Married Couples) [FT(PMC)]**, **FPPS**, and the **Family Care Scheme (FCS)** ([HDB Priority Schemes](https://www.hdb.gov.sg/buying-a-flat/bto-sbf-and-open-booking-of-flats/process-for-buying-a-new-flat/application/priority-schemes)).

## Official BTO priority schemes & flat supply quotas

As at November 2026, [HDB’s allocation table](https://www.hdb.gov.sg/buying-a-flat/bto-sbf-and-open-booking-of-flats/process-for-buying-a-new-flat/modes-of-sales) gives FT(PMC) households **3 base chances**, other first-timer families **2**, and second-timer families, seniors and first-timer singles **1**. Standard-flat unsuccessful-attempt bonuses are not included here. Additional child-based chances start from the February 2027 exercise. These results match declared profiles; HDB confirms eligibility.

HDB normally allows **one priority scheme**. Households eligible for **FPPS may combine it with one other scheme** (for example, FCS Proximity or TCPS). Applicants unsuccessful in a priority scheme ballot are balloted again in the subsequent priority scheme or the regular public pool ([HDB Priority Schemes](https://www.hdb.gov.sg/buying-a-flat/bto-sbf-and-open-booking-of-flats/process-for-buying-a-new-flat/application/priority-schemes)):
