Things you Should Know

Still unsure about using our home loan borrowing calculator? Mortgage House gets into the important questions here:

How much can I borrow based on my income?

As everyone has different incomes and income streams, borrowing power differs from person to person. Factoring in your income combined with your spending can provide a rough estimate of the home you can buy. Our mortgage calculator can give you an idea on how much you are able to borrow to get the ball rolling onto buying a house.

How much can we afford to borrow?

Combining income with your partner or your family can increase your borrowing power and the capacity of your loan. If you are purchasing with your partner and it is the first time you are both buying a property, you may be eligible for the first home owners grant. It is an exciting time to purchase your first home! With our borrowing calculator, you can add your income and your partners with an option to see what a joint loan looks like. Easily change the toggles and see all your options with our borrowing calculator. Want to know more about buying your first home? Understand the ins and outs of buying your first home here.

With the toggles to add income, expenses, length of loan and more, our borrowing calculator is a great tool to understand an estimate on the rate of borrowing. Check your borrowing power here!

What percentage of your income should you spend on mortgage?

A mortgage is a BIG investment, maybe the biggest you will ever make in your life. The repayments of a mortgage differ from person to person. Factoring in the purchase price of your home, your deposit, your expenses, your income and possible partner’s income, length of the loan and repayment frequency will all play a part in how much you repay per month, fortnight or week. Understand how your income plays a part in your mortgage options with this article. There is no definitive answer to how much you should spend on your mortgage, it will all depend on how much you can afford to spend. Check your borrowing power here!

How do you calculate borrowing capacity?

With innovative technology, Mortgage House can help you understand your borrowing power with our borrowing calculator. Asking yourself how much can I borrow for a home loan? creates a multitude of other questions. Factoring in your income, partner’s income, expenses, credit card debts and other forms of income will give you an estimate of how much you can borrow.

Using an online mortgage calculator is the ideal way to calculate your options. Simply move the toggles and add in your information to calculate your borrowing capacity here.

How do banks calculate borrowing capacity?

Banks factor in your whole life when determining if you are eligible for a loan. From credit card debt to your income, a mortgage broker and bank will assess your overall situation before determining your borrowing capacity. Be ready for the bank’s questions with our borrowing calculator so you’re not disappointed when it comes time for your loan options.

How much can I borrow with $60k?

With a $60,000 deposit, your options are great. Taking into account how much money you make before taxes, your monthly living expenses, including how much you spend on housing, food, transportation, clothes, etc. and your current debts and other loans will determine how much you can borrow.

Even though you have your deposit, if you don’t have a stable income, you may not be able to pay back your repayments. Understanding how your salary impacts your options is important. This article can help you better determine how the combination of a deposit and stable income impacts your home loan options.

How much can I borrow with a $50,000 deposit?

There is no definitive answer to this question. At Mortgage House we take into account an array of factors to determine how much you can borrow. Using our borrowing calculator is a good place to start!

Your salary plays a big part in determining the amount of your loan. This article explains how your salary impacts your loan.

 

How much can I afford with an $80k salary?

An $80,000 salary is a good starting point for a home loan. At Mortgage House, we factor in a range of variables including your income, expense and deposit. The bigger the deposit, the better and having an 80k salary is a good salary for a home loan.

Understand how much you can borrow with our borrowing calculator. This article explains how reliable and valuable borrowing calculators are when starting your home loan journey.

Can I borrow more money with a bigger deposit?

The simple answer is yes but you need to have your stable income. A bigger deposit opens up your options with purchasing a more expensive house or choosing a shorter home loan. If your family gives you your whole deposit and you don’t have a steady income to back up your repayments, your deposit is almost worthless.

At Mortgage House, we understand everyone’s circumstances are different and factors surrounding your income and expenses are just as important as your deposit. Realistically, the bigger your deposit the better as this does give you more options in your home loan! This article explains how much you can borrow with a 10% deposit.
