How to read this estimate: figures are calculated from published Housing Australia price caps and state stamp duty scales as at July 2026, using owner-occupier rates throughout (not investor rates), since this tool is built for buyers purchasing a home to live in. It is not a loan quote, pre-approval or financial advice, and doesn't account for your income, expenses or credit history — actual borrowing capacity, scheme eligibility and duty payable depend on lender assessment. We've shown an estimated interest rate rather than a comparison rate: a comparison rate is driven by each lender's specific fees and charges, so it can't be calculated from a rate figure alone and isn't meaningful in an illustration like this — we'll confirm the real comparison rate for any product we recommend. Speak with a broker to confirm how this applies to your situation.
