This is an estimate only and should not be taken as financial advice. Lenders typically use a higher assessment rate (2-3% above the actual rate offered) to ensure you can handle potential rate increases. Your actual borrowing power will depend on your individual circumstances, credit history, and the lender's specific criteria. Speak to a Finance World adviser for a personalised assessment.

How borrowing power is calculated

Understanding the factors that determine how much a lender will offer you.

01

Your Income

Lenders look at your gross income and any additional regular earnings such as a partner's salary, overtime, or rental income.

02

Living Expenses

Your regular living costs including food, transport, utilities, insurance, and childcare are deducted from your income.

03

Existing Debts

Any ongoing debt repayments such as car loans, personal loans, credit cards, and buy-now-pay-later commitments reduce your capacity.

04

Assessment Rate

Lenders stress-test your affordability using a rate 2-3% above the offered rate to make sure you can handle future increases.
