1. What Is The ING Borrowing Capacity Calculator?

The ING Borrowing Capacity Calculator helps estimate the maximum borrowing amount based on your income and ING's buffered interest rate. This tool provides an approximation of how much you might be able to borrow for a home loan or other financing options.

2. How Does The Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the ING borrowing formula:

\[ ING\ Max = \frac{Income \times 0.3}{ING\ buffered\ rate} \]

Where:

\( Income \) — Your annual income in Australian Dollars (AUD)
\( 0.3 \) — Standard debt-to-income ratio used by many lenders
\( ING\ buffered\ rate \) — ING's assessment rate (as a percentage)

Explanation: This formula calculates your maximum borrowing capacity by taking 30% of your income and dividing it by the buffered interest rate (converted to decimal form).

3. Importance Of Borrowing Capacity Calculation

Details: Understanding your borrowing capacity is essential when planning to apply for a loan. It helps you set realistic expectations, budget effectively, and improves your chances of loan approval by ensuring you apply for an amount within your financial means.

4. Using The Calculator

Tips: Enter your annual income in AUD and the current ING buffered rate as a percentage. Both values must be positive numbers to calculate your estimated maximum borrowing capacity.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is a buffered interest rate?
A: A buffered rate is a higher interest rate used by lenders to assess your borrowing capacity, typically 2-3% above the actual rate, to ensure you can afford repayments if rates rise.

Q2: Is 30% the standard debt-to-income ratio?
A: Many Australian lenders use 30% as a guideline, but this can vary based on individual circumstances, loan type, and lender policies.

Q3: Does this calculation include other debts?
A: This simplified calculator doesn't account for existing debts. Actual borrowing capacity assessments consider all financial commitments.

Q4: How often does ING update their buffered rate?
A: ING may adjust their assessment rates periodically based on market conditions and regulatory requirements.

Q5: Should I rely solely on this calculator for loan decisions?
A: This provides an estimate only. Consult with an ING mortgage specialist or financial advisor for personalized advice and accurate borrowing capacity assessment.
