This calculator is designed to give you an estimate of what size loan your rental payments may be able to service, using the interest rate and loan term you have selected in the calculator. It is not an indication of your borrowing power and has not taken into account factors that would be considered in a credit assessment if you apply for a home loan. The results do not constitute any agreement by any lender to provide credit. Initial calculations are based on average rent for a 2 bedroom apartment in Australia of $650 per week at 5.80% for 30 years, paying principle and interest.

Renting but looking to buy?

Our rent or buy calculator helps you compare the cost of renting versus owning a home, so you can make an informed decision based on your goals and budget.

Simply drop on what you pay on rent and calculate what the equivalent loan value would be.

Rent vs Buy Calculator

If you are currently renting, you are already making regular repayments each week or month. This calculator helps you estimate how much you may be able to borrow if your loan repayments were similar to what you are paying in rent.

Simply enter your current rent, expected interest rate and loan term. The calculator will estimate the equivalent loan amount based on those repayments. It is a practical way to explore what home ownership could look like using your existing budget.

How It Works

Your rent amount is treated as a potential loan repayment. Based on the interest rate and loan term you enter, the calculator works backwards to estimate the loan size that would result in similar repayments.

It is important to remember this is a guide only. Lenders also assess income, living expenses, existing debts, credit history and deposit size when determining borrowing capacity.

We compare options across our panel of 70 plus lenders and explain what may be achievable based on your circumstances.
