Borrowing power is a term that lenders sometimes use to describe the loan amount you could borrow when applying for a personal loan or home loan.

In some ways, learning your borrowing power is the first step in any serious property search. Having a good idea of what you could buy can make it easier to find an affordable property.

The mortgage calculator on this page can help you estimate your borrowing power, using some basic details about your financial situation. But there are many other things that affect your borrowing power when you actually apply for a home loan. Here are some of the main things lenders consider.

Important information

The information on our mortgage calculator is prepared without knowing your personal financial circumstances. Before you act on this, please consider if it’s right for you. 

+LVR stands for the initial loan to value ratio. LVR is the amount of your loan compared to the Bank’s valuation of your property offered to secure your loan expressed as a percentage. Home loan rates for new loans are set based on the initial LVR and won’t change during the life of the loan as the LVR changes.

^^Rate Lock: BankSA will apply the fixed rate available at the loan settlement date or the date the fixed rate term commences, unless you lock a fixed rate in on your loan using our Rate Lock feature. The fixed rate lock-in fee is 0.15% of your loan amount or $500, whichever is higher, capped at $1000 for loans up to $2M. For loans above $2M, the fixed rate lock-in fee is 0.15% of your loan amount. At the end of your fixed rate term, the interest rate will convert to our standard variable interest rate, unless a new fixed rate term’s selected and then the fixed rate is determined on the day the fixed term ends. 

# Higher minimum deposit will be required in some areas. 5% genuine savings required. Loans subject to credit criteria. Where the loan to valuation ratio is 80% or above, lenders mortgage insurance will be required for a fee. Other fees, charges and purchase costs apply. Terms and Conditions available upon application. (Additional funds required for transaction and establishment costs).
