Understanding Your Borrowing Capacity

As a self-employed borrower, lenders often scrutinise your income and expenses more closely. Our calculator takes into account your net income, business expenses, and existing debts to provide an accurate estimate of how much you can borrow.

Interest Rates and Loan Terms

With current rates from 5.99% p.a. as of March 2026, your repayments will vary based on the loan amount and term. Our calculator allows you to adjust these parameters to see how different rates and durations impact your repayments.

Factors Affecting Your Loan Approval

  • Income stability and documentation
  • Business financial health
  • Credit history
  • Deposit amount

Understanding these factors can help you prepare for your application. For tailored advice, consider speaking with a mortgage broker or visiting our First Home Buyers Guide.

Exploring Suburbs and Investment Opportunities

Once you know your borrowing capacity, explore popular suburbs like Sydney suburbs or check out investment options in growing areas. Our tools can help you plan your property purchase or investment strategy effectively.
