Mozo’s home loan affordability calculator is a budgeting tool that helps you estimate how much you could borrow on a home loan (i.e. your borrowing power).
Using your income and expenses, the calculator tests your finances and shows you how your lifestyle affects what you can afford to spend on a home.
The calculator considers typical homebuyer expenses like the initial deposit, loan term, monthly repayments, interest rates, taxes like stamp duty, and lenders’ mortgage insurance, and lays out all these costs in a simple, easy-to-read way.
All you need to do is simply plug in the numbers and go!
To use Mozo’s home loan affordability calculator, you’ll need to have some basic information about your living expenses and salary on hand. The more specific you are, the better!

Once you have this information, plug the numbers into the relevant fields. The calculator will then show you how much you can afford, with a helpful summary of hidden costs to consider.
