Frequently asked questions
How is my monthly mortgage payment calculated?
Your total monthly payment is principal and interest (calculated with the standard fixed-rate amortization formula) plus 1/12 of your annual council rates, 1/12 of your annual home insurance, and any monthly HOA/strata/service charge. Adjust any of the inputs above to see how each one changes your total.
What deposit do I actually need?
Lenders commonly want 20% to avoid Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI) — this calculator flags when LMI likely applies. Smaller deposits are possible but mean a larger loan and higher payment, shown directly above.
What does the affordability verdict mean?
It uses the standard 28/36 front-end debt-to-income guideline that most lenders reference: a payment at or under 28% of your gross monthly income is considered comfortable, 28–36% is a stretch worth budgeting carefully for, and over 36% is tight by most lenders’ standards. Enter your gross monthly income to see your own number.
Is council rates the same everywhere in Australian Capital Territory?
No — Council rates is set by your local council/authority and varies significantly by area and property band. The amount above is a rough starting point; check your local council's published rates and adjust the field to match.
