ANZ Bank Borrowing Formula:
From: | To: |
The ANZ Bank borrowing formula calculates maximum borrowing capacity based on income, loan-to-value ratio (LVR), and debt-to-income ratio (DTI). It helps determine how much you can potentially borrow from ANZ Bank for mortgage purposes.
The calculator uses the ANZ borrowing formula:
Where:
Explanation: The formula calculates maximum borrowing capacity by multiplying income by 5.5 and the LVR, but only if the debt-to-income ratio is below the threshold of 6.
Details: Calculating borrowing capacity is essential for home buyers to understand their budget limitations, prepare for mortgage applications, and make informed decisions about property purchases.
Tips: Enter your annual income in AUD, LVR as a decimal (e.g., 0.8 for 80%), and your current debt-to-income ratio. All values must be valid positive numbers with DTI less than 6 to get a result.
Q1: What is LVR in mortgage terms?
A: LVR (Loan-to-Value Ratio) is the percentage of the property value that you're borrowing. For example, an 80% LVR means you're borrowing 80% of the property's value.
Q2: Why is DTI important in borrowing capacity?
A: DTI (Debt-to-Income Ratio) measures your existing debt obligations against your income. Banks use this to assess your ability to manage additional debt repayments.
Q3: Does this calculation include other factors?
A: This is a simplified formula. Actual borrowing capacity may also consider credit history, living expenses, interest rates, and other financial commitments.
Q4: Is the 5.5 multiplier fixed for all borrowers?
A: The multiplier may vary based on individual circumstances, market conditions, and ANZ's current lending policies.
Q5: What if my DTI is 6 or higher?
A: If your DTI is 6 or higher, you may need to reduce existing debt or increase income before qualifying for additional borrowing from ANZ.
