Every lender's income, expense and buffer policy differs — real capacity can vary by six figures between lenders. This is a guide, not an approval.

Assumptions (checked 4 Aug 2026): tax estimated on 2025–26 resident brackets plus 2% Medicare levy, no offsets or HECS; a minimum living-expense floor of $2,700/mo (single) or $4,000/mo (couple) plus $600 per dependent is applied if your stated expenses are lower; credit card limits assessed at 3.8% of limit per month; new repayment assessed at your rate + 3.0 percentage points (APRA guidance).
