Calculator guide

Set a property-price goal, choose a deposit percentage and compare the target with your available savings and regular contributions.

  1. 01Enter a realistic target purchase price and deposit percentage.

The selected percentage of the purchase price.

Savings gap

The amount remaining after current savings.

Estimated timeframe

How long regular contributions may take to close the gap.

Worked-scenario tip

Purchase costs sit outside the deposit target, so keep a separate allowance for duty, legal work, inspections and moving.

Assumptions and limits

What this estimate cannot decide.
