1. What is the ANZ Loan Capacity Calculator?

The ANZ Loan Capacity Calculator estimates how much you can borrow based on your income, affordability ratio, and current interest rates with ANZ's specific buffer requirements. It helps potential borrowers understand their borrowing power before applying for a loan.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the ANZ loan capacity formula:

\[ Loan\ Capacity = \frac{Income \times Affordability}{Buffered\ Rate} \]

Where:

\( Income \) — Your annual income before tax
\( Affordability \) — Percentage of income available for loan repayments (typically 30%)
\( Buffered\ Rate \) — Current interest rate plus ANZ's assessment buffer (typically 3%)

Explanation: The calculation determines your maximum borrowing capacity by assessing what you can afford to repay monthly, using a conservative interest rate that includes a buffer for potential rate rises.

3. Importance of Loan Capacity Calculation

Details: Understanding your borrowing capacity is crucial for financial planning, ensuring you don't overextend yourself, and helping you make informed decisions about property purchases and loan applications.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter your annual income, select an appropriate affordability ratio (30% is standard), current interest rate, and ANZ's buffer rate (typically 3%). All values must be positive numbers.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is ANZ's standard affordability ratio?
A: ANZ typically uses 30% of your gross income for loan repayment calculations, though this may vary based on individual circumstances.

Q2: Why does ANZ add a buffer to the interest rate?
A: The buffer (typically 3%) ensures you can still afford repayments if interest rates rise, providing a safety margin for both you and the bank.

Q3: What factors affect my actual borrowing capacity?
A: Besides income and rates, ANZ considers your expenses, existing debts, credit history, and the loan-to-value ratio of the property.

Q4: Is this calculation guaranteed?
A: This is an estimate only. Your actual borrowing capacity will be determined through ANZ's full assessment process.

Q5: How often should I recalculate my borrowing capacity?
A: Recalculate whenever your income changes significantly or when interest rates move substantially.
