How to Use Our Borrowing Power Calculator

Our borrowing power calculator gives you a quick estimate of how much you could borrow based on your income, expenses and debts.

Every lender assesses borrowing power differently, so use the borrowing power calculator as a starting point, then let us compare 50+ lenders for your exact figure.

How we work: every application starts with a free conversation about your goals. We then compare rates, fees and features across our lender panel, explain the pros and cons of each option in plain English and recommend the option that suits you. Once you are happy, we prepare and lodge the application, follow up with the lender and keep you informed by phone, text or email until settlement.

Why use a broker? Lenders have very different credit policies. One bank might decline an application that another approves at a sharper rate. Because we work with major banks, regional lenders and specialist lenders, we can match your situation to the right policy the first time, saving you time and protecting your credit file from multiple enquiries.

Important: calculator results are estimates only. They are a guide and are not a quote, credit offer, pre-approval or guarantee that you will be approved. Results rely on the information you enter and on assumptions, including interest rates staying the same for the whole term, a 3% serviceability buffer and a general living-expense benchmark, and they exclude fees, charges, Lenders Mortgage Insurance and other costs unless stated. Actual borrowing capacity, repayments and costs depend on each lender's credit criteria, policies and fees, which change from time to time. Stamp duty is estimated using Revenue NSW 2026–27 transfer duty rates and first home buyer thresholds and does not cover every exemption, concession or surcharge; confirm the amount with Revenue NSW or your conveyancer. Tax figures use 2026–27 resident rates. While we take care to keep these calculators accurate and up to date, Kickstart Finance Group does not guarantee their accuracy or completeness and accepts no liability for decisions made in reliance on them. This is general information only and does not take into account your objectives, financial situation or needs. Please speak with us before making any financial decision, and seek independent legal, tax or financial advice where appropriate.
