Next Step: Estimate Repayments
Now that you know your borrowing power, calculate exactly what your repayments would look like for a specific property.
Calculate RepaymentsThe results generated are based on a generalised mathematical model using specific assumptions and should be used for illustrative purposes. While these represent legitimate calculations for the scenario described, they do not take into account your personal financial situation, credit criteria, or individual lender policies. They do not constitute a quote, pre-approval, credit assessment, loan offer, or financial advice. Actual repayment amounts, interest charges, and loan terms may vary based on final lender assessment, fees, and charges.

Understanding your capacity
Knowing your borrowing power is the first step in the property search process. It gives you a realistic budget and helps you target the right suburbs and properties.
Assessment Rates: Our calculator uses a standard "stress test" buffer. This ensures the figure is realistic and aligns with what a bank is likely to approve, rather than just showing what you can afford at today's rates.
The Impact of Liabilities: Existing debts like car loans and credit cards directly reduce your monthly surplus income, which has a multiplier effect on your total borrowing power.
