How Borrowing Calculator works?
The Home Loan Maximum Borrowing Capacity Calculator below provides you with an indication of how much you can borrow according to your Yearly Gross Income and also taking into account your monthly commitments.
This Borrowing Calculator also factors in tax payable and the average living expenses according to the number of adults and dependants input in the relevant fields.
Note: Lending Institutions may apply different Lending Criteria when assessing Loans and the maximum available may vary.
Investment Income
When Mortgage Insurers and Lending Instituions consider any Investment Income, they generally only assess 80% of the total of your Investment return for borrowing capacity purposes. By inputting the total investment income earned, the calculator will adjust the figure to suit.
Assessment Interest Rate
When it comes to assessing your maximum borrowing capacity, it should be noted that the rate is loaded by 1.5 on top of the current Standard variable rate. In particular if your borrowings are above 80% LVR, mortgage insurers would need to sign off on the home loan. What this means is that without LMI sign off, the Lender will not approve your Home Loan.
We always recommend that you obtain a Pre-Approval prior to going out searching for your next home.
To use this Maximum Borrowing Capacity Calculator you need to input the following:
- Your Gross Annual Incomes

Click the CALCULATE button for the result.
There are also a number of Assumptions that need to be taken into consideration:
Interest Rate Assumption
Borrowing Calculator assumes hat the Interest rate does not vary during the period of the Home Loan. In accordance if your Home Loan is based on the Standard Variable Rate, then this would mean that as market conditions change, then so does your interest rate, and the amount of your regular payment.
Yearly Assumptions
How Much Can I Borrow Calculator assumes that the year comprises of 364 days and not 365 days and further does not take into account leap years within the Home Loan period. Further it is assumed that all months are equal and do not vary. This would affect the interest charged on the home loan, and vary the end result.
Regular Repayment Assumption
Borrowing Calculator provides results on regular monthly payments. It does not take into account week or fortnightly repayments. This would mean that there would be a slight variation to the end result as interest is calculated daily.
