Rough estimate only, not a pre-approval or offer of credit. It uses 2026–27 resident tax rates plus the Medicare levy, counts 80% of other income, uses the higher of your expenses or a basic living-cost benchmark, counts 3.8% of card limits as a monthly commitment, and tests the loan at your rate plus a 3% buffer over 30 years, as lenders typically do. Every lender's rules differ, so your broker will confirm your real borrowing power.

Every dollar in an offset account is subtracted from your loan balance before interest is charged, so you pay less interest and can be loan-free sooner, while keeping your savings available.
over the life of the loan
Your repayment stays the same at $0. The offset just means more of it goes to the loan, not interest.
Estimate only. Assumes a variable principal-and-interest loan with a 100% offset, a constant rate, and that the offset money is not withdrawn. Excludes fees, such as package fees that often come with offset accounts.

Compare what you pay now with a lower rate on the same balance and time left. Switching costs are included, so you can see when the move pays for itself.
on your repayments
Estimate only. Assumes principal-and-interest repayments, monthly, with both rates staying the same for the rest of the loan. "Saved over the loan" is interest saved minus switching costs. Switching costs can include discharge, application, valuation and government fees, and any break cost on a fixed rate. Some lenders offer cashback that can offset these.

Budget planner calculator: common questions
What expenses do lenders look at?
Lenders review your bank statements and compare your declared spending with typical living costs for a household like yours. Groceries, bills, transport, childcare and subscriptions all count.
How much of my income should go on repayments?
A common rule of thumb is to keep home loan repayments under about 30% of your pre-tax income, but what’s comfortable depends on your situation.
Can a broker help if my budget is tight?
Yes. A broker can look at options like consolidating debts into one lower repayment, or finding a loan that better fits your budget.
