Important Notes

Calculations based on total monthly repayment divided by total monthly income resulting in a Debt Servicing Ratio (DSR) not exceeding 32%. This is based on industry averages for calculating DSR’s.

As most institutions make their calculations with an interest rate of at least 2% higher than the current rate, we have also used an interest rate 2% higher than the one entered in.

This calculation does not pre qualify you for a loan – it is to be used as an indication only. Individual institutions have their own lending criteria which may differ from the one used here.
