If I finished paying for my house using CPF in 10 years, but only sell it 15 years later. What is the accrued interest I have to pay?

I bought a BTO and do think i have the ability to finish paying off my HDB loan in 5 years using my CPF. But should i do it? I have already opted for a 10 year loan period maximum and would not be able to reverse it to 25 years. I am only concerned that the longer i stay in this house (>10 years and i would have finished paying for it using cpf), i would incur huge amount of accrued interest that I "owe" myself, instead of cpf generating it for me.

See Gabriel's answer for checking your accrued interest.

Refer to CPF website to see how to repay your OA and stop accrued interest from getting bigger. You would need to repay the accrued interest first then make partial or full payment of your principal.

You can login to cpf or use their cpf mobile app to check your current accrued interest. It snowballs very fast because of the 2.5% interest rate.

We used CPF to pay HDB. But after we fully paid using CPF after 25 years loan, we sell the house to buy another, why are we still paying the interest in the loan when the CPF money should belong to us? What do you guys think?

I had been paying my HDB housing loan for the past 3 years. If I do Partial Capital Repayment using CPF, does it benefit me from the loan interest rate and also accrued interest on my Cpf.?

During BTO key collection, can I indicate to pay the mortgage using CPF-OA funds but repay my CPF-OA using cash every month / year? Will there still be accrued interest if I repay using cash monthly?

If parents are above age 55, should they withdraw money from CPF to pay for housing in order to avoid incurring accrued interest? Instead of using CPF to pay directly.?

Is there accrued interest if I use the amount inside OA/SA for CPF IS, just like how I use the amount to pay for housing?
