This calculator provides an estimate only and does not constitute financial advice or a loan offer. Figures use HEM living-expense benchmarks, ATO 2025–26 individual tax rates, the 2025–26 HECS/HELP repayment system, and a serviceability assessment rate including a lender buffer. Investment estimates apply rental-income shading and, where selected, an estimated negative-gearing tax benefit. Actual borrowing capacity depends on lender policy, credit history, and full financial assessment. This is general information only — it does not take into account your objectives, financial situation or needs, and is not a loan approval, pre-approval or an assessment of your borrowing capacity. Speak with a mortgage broker for a personalised assessment.
