We earn $145k and $80k, spend about $4k a month and have $180k saved. Can we afford a $1.1M townhouse in Sydney, and what would repayments be?

Yes, it's within your borrowing power. Here's how it works out at 6.80%:

Borrowing power
$1,190,464
NSW stamp duty
$43,687
Loan after duty
$963,687
Monthly repayment
$6,283

Stamp duty leaves $136,313 as the deposit, so you'd borrow 87.6% of the price. Above 80%, the lender adds lenders mortgage insurance unless you save $83,687 more.

How every figure gets here

Read from the source

Banks and energy retailers publish every product under the Consumer Data Right; insurers file every policy with the government; APRA, the RBA, the ABS, Fair Work and Social Services publish the rest. We read each one as it changes.

Worked through in the open

The calculators use the formulas lenders and the ATO use, with every assumption on the page and yours to change.

Explained, never sold

No bank, retailer or fund pays to appear or to rank higher, and nothing here earns a commission.
