Bond Calculator FAQs

  • What is my gross income?

    Your gross monthly income is your total income before tax and deductions.

  • What is my net income?

    Your net monthly income is your total income after tax and deductions.

  • How is the home loan amount calculated?

    Your repayment cannot be more than 30% of your gross monthly income and cannot exceed your net surplus income.

  • How accurate is the bond calculator?

    The bond calculator is a guideline. It does not include a credit check or full affordability assessment which the bank will require.

    ooba recommends that you get pre-approved before you start house hunting.

Why you should get pre-approved

ooba’s pre-approval allows you to check your credit score and assess how much you can afford.

  • Shop with confidence

    Knowing your credit score allows you to address any issues before applying for a home loan.

  • Know how much you can afford 

    ooba considers your financial information in the same way a bank would, to give you an accurate assessment of what you can afford.

  • Get the competitive advantage

    Sellers are more likely to accept an offer from someone who has proof that they can afford to buy.

  • Sign a sale agreement with peace of mind

    Pre-approval protects you from putting in an offer on a property you can’t afford. Why risk disappointment?
