Calculator guide

Plan a first-home purchase from deposit to repayments

Use one consistent scenario to estimate your borrowing position, savings, purchase costs and loan structure. The result can help identify the next preparation step.

  1. 01Enter all applicants, income, savings, expenses and commitments.
  2. 02Add a realistic target property price and purchase details.
  3. 03Review the deposit, estimated costs, LVR and indicative loan structure together.

Base LVR

The base loan as a percentage of the purchase price.

Total LVR

The total estimated lending, including financed costs where applicable, relative to the property value.

Minimum required amounts

Indicative deposit and cash figures for the calculator’s 95% purchase scenario.

Worked-scenario tip

A higher target price can increase the required deposit and purchase costs at the same time. Compare several prices instead of relying on a single maximum.

Assumptions and limits

What this estimate cannot decide.

  • The result is an estimate, not a loan offer or approval.
  • Lender policies, rates, fees and assessment methods can change.
  • Use current, realistic figures and seek personalised advice before acting.
