Borrowing Power Calculator

At Velox Capital, we make it easier to plan your property or investment journey with our Borrowing Power Calculator. This simple tool helps you understand how much you may be able to borrow based on your income, expenses, and financial commitments. Whether you are buying your first home, upgrading, or looking at investment property finance, the calculator gives you a clear starting point.

Why Use Our Borrowing Power Calculator?

  • Quick and easy way to understand your potential borrowing limit
  • Helps you set realistic property or investment goals
  • Provides clarity before applying for a loan
  • Saves time by giving you a benchmark for discussions with your finance broker

How a Borrowing Power Calculator Fits Into Your Finance Journey

Using a calculator is a valuable first step in planning your next move, whether that is buying a home, refinancing, or expanding your investment portfolio. It provides an indication of what may be possible, but it is not the full picture. Every client has unique circumstances, and lenders assess a range of factors beyond what an online calculator considers.

At Velox Capital, we use the calculator as a starting point and then go deeper. We review your full financial position, explore multiple lender options, and structure the loan in a way that supports both your short-term needs and long-term goals.

Factors That Influence Your Borrowing Power

Your borrowing capacity depends on a number of key factors. Some of the most common include:

  • Income and employment type – Lenders assess salary, business income, or contractor earnings differently.
  • Living expenses – Everyday costs such as food, transport, insurance, and childcare are considered.
  • Existing debts and credit cards – Any ongoing commitments, even unused credit card limits, reduce borrowing capacity.
  • Loan type – Residential loans, investment loans, SMSF loans, and commercial loans all have different criteria.
  • Interest rates and lender policies – Borrowing power changes depending on current interest rates and how each lender assesses risk.

Knowing these factors can help you prepare before making a loan application and highlight areas where you may be able to improve your borrowing capacity.

Borrowing Power vs Loan Pre-Approval

It is important to understand the difference between borrowing power and loan pre-approval. A Borrowing Power Calculator provides an estimate, while a pre-approval involves a lender formally assessing your application and verifying your documents.

Pre-approval gives you a clear budget to work with and shows sellers or agents that you are serious. At Velox Capital, we can guide you from calculator results all the way through to pre-approval and final loan settlement, ensuring the process is clear and stress-free.

While the result is only a guide, it helps you make informed decisions before speaking with a broker or lender.

A Borrowing Power Calculator provides an estimate based on the information you enter, such as income, expenses, and debts. While it is a useful guide, lenders may assess additional factors such as your credit history, employment type, and savings when determining your actual borrowing capacity.

No, using our Borrowing Power Calculator does not affect your credit score. It is an online tool designed to give you an indication of your potential borrowing power without leaving any mark on your credit file.
