Calculator Assumptions and Disclaimers
The results from this calculator should be used as an indication only. Results do not represent either quotes or pre-qualifications for the product. Individual institutions apply different formulas. Information such as interest rates quoted and default figures used in the assumptions are subject to change.
- Our calculator estimates your risk of mortgage stress by taking the following steps: Breaking down your household’s annual income into approximate monthly income by dividing the total by 12.
- Comparing your entered monthly repayment to your approximate household monthly income.
- Displaying the result as a percentage on the table (results 30 per cent or higher are assumed to be deemed mortgage stress).
- All calculations are estimates only.
- These calculations are only accurate for the information entered, and do not take into account future changes to you/your household income, your home loan interest rate, or your mortgage repayments.
- Results are calculated based on pre-tax income and do not take any other living expenses into account.
- Some people on high incomes may be comfortable paying 30% or more on housing or some people may have a savings plan in place that allows them to make them comfortable taking on a larger debt.
- The calculator is for information purposes only. Any advice is general and has not taken into account your personal circumstances.
