Your credit score plays a key role in determining the interest rate you qualify for, directly influencing your home loan affordability and monthly repayments. A higher credit score can help you secure better rates and make your loan more affordable
Loan Term
Choosing a longer loan term can lower your monthly repayments, but it also increases the total interest you’ll pay over the full duration of the loan.

Making a larger deposit lowers your overall loan amount and monthly repayments, while also improving your chances of qualifying for a better interest rate.

Questions about a home loan calculator
How accurate is the bond affordability calculator?
A home loan calculator provides an estimated monthly repayment and loan amount based on the information you enter and current market interest rates. While these tools give a useful guideline, actual bond offers can differ depending on your credit score, personal financial situation, and individual lender requirements.
A home loan without a deposit, can I get one?
Some lenders offer home loans with no deposit for eligible applicants, but these loans often have higher interest rates. Paying a deposit not only improves your chances of a loan approval but also reduces your monthly repayments and overall loan costs over time.
How much deposit do I need for a bond?
Lenders generally recommend saving at least a 10% deposit for a bond, while a deposit of 20% or higher can help you access lower interest rates and reduce total borrowing costs.
