Tools

The starting point.
Not the answer.

Two quick tools — what your repayments would look like, and roughly what you could borrow. The number you can actually borrow depends on the lender, your full picture, and a conversation we'd love to have.

Repayment calculator

Rough estimate using a 9% stress-test rate over 30 years. Actual borrowing power varies dramatically by lender and situation. Always talk to us before making an offer.

How we work it out

The math behind the numbers.

Repayment calculator

Standard principal-and-interest formula at a fixed rate over the loan term you choose. We don't apply fees or low-equity premiums — those depend on the lender and your situation.

Borrowing power estimator

We use a 9% stress-test rate (most banks stress at 8.5–9.5%, well above the going rate) over 30 years. We knock combined income down to a rough after-tax figure, subtract committed expenses and a per-dependant allowance, then assume around 45% of net income is available for servicing. The deposit cap assumes a standard 80% LVR — there are paths to borrow more with low-equity options or a guarantor.

The output is a range, never a single number. Different banks come back with very different answers for the same applicant; this is meant to give you an honest ballpark, not a quote.
