<label>
<strong>Current rent (monthly)</strong>
</label>
<p class="small"> Recurring monthly rental payments. Assumes the amount you enter as rent per month (as adjusted for inflation) will continue to be paid each month throughout the period covered by the calculation. The rental increase rate
is applied to the rent amount. </p>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label>
<strong>Current savings (monthly)</strong>
</label>
<p class="small"> Recurring monthly savings. Assumes the amount you enter as savings per month (as adjusted for inflation) will continue to be saved each month throughout the period covered by the calculation. The investment return rate

</label>
<p class="small"> The amount of savings you have available for the deposit and costs. This is used to determine the base loan amount and base LVR. Assumes that the total amount which has been saved will be applied towards the property

</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label>
<strong>Loan interest rate</strong>

<h3>Calculation fields and other assumptions:</h3>
<div class="form-group">
<label>
<strong>Monthly loan repayments</strong>
</label>
<p class="small"> Where the minimum mortgage repayment is more than the rent and savings amounts you enter (as adjusted for inflation), the calculator assumes the minimum loan repayments will still be made (ie. the borrower will reduce
other expenses necessary to meet the minimum mortgage repayments). Please note - this additional amount has not been factored in to the rent and save scenario. <br><br>Where the minimum loan repayment is less than the rent and savings
amounts you enter (as adjusted for inflation), the calculator assumes the excess amount will be deposited and saved. </p>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label>
<strong>Total stamp duty</strong>
</label>
<p class="small"> Calculated based on the property purchase price and state of purchase, and deducted from the deposit. In all cases, assumed that the borrower is an owner occupier and that the purchased dwelling will be their principal
place of residence. <br><br>Under the deferred purchase scenario, stamp duty is calculated on the future assumed purchase price. <br><br>The rates and thresholds for stamp duty calculations are sourced from the different local State and
Territory revenue office websites. Refer tofirsthome.gov.aufor details. </p>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label>
<strong>Total LMI premium</strong>

<label>
<strong>Capitalised loan amount</strong>
</label>
<p class="small"> Base loan amount + LMI premium (if payable) </p>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label>
<strong>Base LVR</strong>
</label>
<p class="small"> Base loan amount / property purchase price. The base LVR is used to determine the LMI premium. If LVR <=80%, assumes that no LMI premium is payable (i.e. that the lender does not require the borrower to take out LMI).
</p>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label>
<strong>Capitalised LVR</strong>
</label>
<p class="small"> Capitalised loan amount / property purchase price </p>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label>
<strong>Timing assumptions</strong>
</label>
<p class="small"> All recurring transactions are assumed to occur on a monthly basis at the end of the month. </p>
<ul class="small">
<li> Mortgage repayments are assumed to occur immediately after the accrued loan interest has been charged to the loan. </li>
<li> All months are assumed to be of equal length, and one year is assumed to contain exactly 12 months. Therefore, this assumes that a year has 364 days. </li>

* • May take many years to save a 20% deposit
* • Home prices may rise at a faster rate than your savings do
* • Entry into the home market may be delayed
* • May mean paying rent for a longer time as you save.
* • You will pay a LMI fee, which covers the cost of the insurance taken out to
protect the lender
* • You will pay interest on a capitalised LMI fee (because it’s part of the
loan amount)
* • If you refinance your loan with another lender the LMI fee may not be
refundable and is not transferable to the other lender
* • If you default on your loan and the lender sells your home, , and the sale
amount isn’t enough to cover the amount owed on the loan, then the LMI
provider (who pays the lender to cover the shortfall) may seek to recover any
remaining debt in the case of a shortfall (except in certain limited
circumstances, for example you are experiencing financial hardship).
* • You will pay a LMI fee monthly
* • If you refinance your loan with another lender the LMI fee may not be
refundable and is not transferable to the other lender
* • If you default on your loan and the lender sells your home, and the sale
amount isn’t enough to cover the amount owed on the loan, then the LMI
provider (who pays the lender to cover the shortfall) may pursue you for that
shortfall.

refundable and is not transferable to the other lender

security also and is liable if you default on your loan. This means that the
guarantor's home may be sold to repay your debt

one family member
* • Your family member may require you to repay any loan provided by the
guarantor.
* • Only available to first home buyers

SCENARIOS:
Base LVR 80% or lower
Quantifies the benefits of:
* buying a property now, versus
* renting and saving indefinitely.
by quantifying and comparing the net savings and equity accumulated after a
certain period of time under each scenario.
Base LVR greater than 80%
Quantifies the benefits of:
* buying a property now using LMI, versus
* continuing to rent and save for a 20% deposit, versus
* renting and saving indefinitely.
by quantifying and comparing the net savings and equity accumulated after a
certain period of time under each scenario.
INPUT FIELD EXPLANATIONS:
Current rent (monthly)
Recurring monthly rental payments. Assumes the amount you enter as rent per
month (as adjusted for inflation) will continue to be paid each month throughout
the period covered by the calculation. The rental increase rate is applied to
the rent amount.
Current savings (monthly)
Recurring monthly savings. Assumes the amount you enter as savings per month (as
adjusted for inflation) will continue to be saved each month throughout the
period covered by the calculation. The investment return rate is applied to the
savings amount.
Property purchase price
The purchase price of the home at the current time. Under the deferred purchase
scenario, this grows at the house price appreciation rate until the borrower has
saved a minimum 20% deposit.
Savings (available for deposit and fees)
The amount of savings you have available for the deposit and costs. This is used
to determine the base loan amount and base LVR. Assumes that the total amount
which has been saved will be applied towards the property purchase costs
including the purchase deposit and the associated upfront costs such as stamp
duty. The remainder of the property purchase costs are covered by the loan
amount.
Loan interest rate
The rate of interest applicable to your loan. Assumed to be the annual nominal
rate of interest, compounded monthly and to remain the applicable loan interest
rate over the entire term of the loan.
Loan term
The term applicable to your loan.
State
The state where you will purchase the property. This is used to determine the
amount of stamp duty payable.
Additional home ownership costs (monthly)
This includes ongoing costs such as council rates, property maintenance etc.
Additional up-front fees (excluding LMI premium and stamp duty)
This includes ongoing costs such as council rates, property maintenance etc.
CALCULATION FIELDS AND OTHER ASSUMPTIONS:
Monthly loan repayments
Where the minimum mortgage repayment is more than the rent and savings amounts
you enter (as adjusted for inflation), the calculator assumes the minimum loan
repayments will still be made (ie. the borrower will reduce other expenses
necessary to meet the minimum mortgage repayments). Please note - this
additional amount has not been factored in to the rent and save scenario.
Where the minimum loan repayment is less than the rent and savings amounts you
enter (as adjusted for inflation), the calculator assumes the excess amount will
be deposited and saved.
Total stamp duty
Calculated based on the property purchase price and state of purchase, and
deducted from the deposit. In all cases, assumed that the borrower is an owner
occupier and that the purchased dwelling will be their principal place of
residence.
Under the deferred purchase scenario, stamp duty is calculated on the future
assumed purchase price.
The rates and thresholds for stamp duty calculations are sourced from the
different local State and Territory revenue office websites. Refer
tofirsthome.gov.aufor details.
Total LMI premium
LMI premium payable based on base loan amount and base LVR. LMI premium is based
on Genworth standard LMI premium rates. LMI premium rates may vary by lender.
LMI premium includes GST however excludes state based insurance duty.
Base loan amount
Property purchase price less savings (available for deposit and fees), stamp
duty and additional upfront costs.
Capitalised loan amount
Base loan amount + LMI premium (if payable)
Base LVR
Base loan amount / property purchase price. The base LVR is used to determine
the LMI premium. If LVR <=80%, assumes that no LMI premium is payable (i.e. that
the lender does not require the borrower to take out LMI).
Capitalised LVR
Capitalised loan amount / property purchase price
Timing assumptions
All recurring transactions are assumed to occur on a monthly basis at the end of
the month.
* Mortgage repayments are assumed to occur immediately after the accrued loan
interest has been charged to the loan.
* All months are assumed to be of equal length, and one year is assumed to
contain exactly 12 months. Therefore, this assumes that a year has 364 days.

DISCLAIMER – CURRENT AS AT 27 MAY 2022
DISCLAIMER: This estimator is intended to provide a general indication of the
long-term economic differences between someone continuing to rent; someone
saving a 20% deposit and purchasing a home, someone purchasing a home now with
less than a 20% deposit if Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI) is used or someone
purchasing a home now their loan being supported by a personal guarant or tby a
government guarantee under the First Home Guarantee Scheme. Economic conditions
may differ from the assumptions and your personal circumstances may turn out
differently from the outputs of the estimator.
LMI protects the lender against a loss should the borrower default on their home
loan and there is a shortfall following a sale of the security property. The
cost of the LMI premium is typically passed on by the lender to the borrower.
LMI should not be mistaken for mortgage protection insurance, which covers a
mortgage in the event of death, sickness, unemployment or disability. The output
of the estimator is not an offer to any person to acquire LMI, credit or any
other financial product not an approval for LMI, credit or any other financial
product.
The estimator and the results provided are generic and do not take into account
your personal circumstances. The estimator is a guide only and is not intended
to be relied upon for the purposes of making a decision in relation to credit or
a financial product. The user should obtain professional legal, accounting, tax,
investment or other financial specialist advice before making any financial
decision.
Except to the extent taken into account in the amounts entered in the ‘Other
upfront costs’ section, the estimator does not take into account any First Home
Owners Grant or other concessions, grants or any maintenance, discharge or other
fees which may be applicable. The estimator assumes that the cost of the LMI
premium (if applicable) is passed on by the lender to the borrower.
No representation is made as to a borrower’s capacity to borrow funds or to
service a loan.
