FAQS

Quick answers about home loans.

How much can I borrow on a $100,000 salary in Australia?

Your borrowing capacity depends on your living expenses, dependents, and outstanding debts. Under current market conditions, a single earner with no debts could potentially borrow between $400,000 and $550,000, subject to lender eligibility.

Does changing jobs reduce my borrowing capacity?

Changing jobs may affect your borrowing options if you enter a new probationary period. Some lenders require you to be in your current role for at least six months, while others are happy to accept your application immediately if you stay within the same industry.

Can I include my side hustle income in a home loan application?

Lenders will often consider secondary income or side hustle earnings if you have a consistent two year track record of tax returns. Every bank treats self-employed or secondary income differently, which means shopping around is vital.

How does the APRA debt to income cap affect my loan?

Lenders now face strict limits on the volume of loans they can write where the total debt is more than six times your gross household income. If your requested loan amount exceeds this threshold, your pool of potential lenders might shrink significantly.

What is the difference between an offset account and a redraw facility?

An offset account is a separate transactional bank account linked directly to your home loan, where the balance lowers the amount of interest you are charged dollar-for-dollar. A redraw facility is a feature inside the loan itself that allows you to claw back any extra, non-mandatory repayments you have made over time. Both options can potentially shave thousands off your total interest bill.

What is LVR and why does it affect my interest rate?

LVR stands for Loan-to-Value Ratio, which represents the percentage of the property’s total value that you are looking to borrow from the bank. If you buy a house worth $800,000 and have a $160,000 deposit, your loan amount is $640,000, making your LVR exactly 80%. Keeping your LVR under 80% generally unlocks the lowest competitive interest rates and means you avoid having to pay Lenders Mortgage Insurance.
