How much deposit do you need for a $950,000 mortgage?

To avoid needing to pay for lender’s mortgage insurance (LMI) on a $950,000 loan, you would need a home deposit (or equity in your existing property) of at least $237,500. In other words, that would be the amount required for your loan-to-value ratio (LVR) to be 80%, which is the maximum for most lenders before LMI applies.

But you may still be approved for a home loan with a deposit of as little as 5% (LVR of 95%) if you agree to pay for LMI to protect the lender, or apply as part of the government’s Home Guarantee Scheme (HGS).

Remember, you should budget for other home-buying costs like stamp duty and conveyancing fees separately to your deposit.

Can I afford a $300,000 mortgage?

This will depend on your income, deposit and loan term. A guide given by some banks is that you shouldn't spend more than 30% of your after-tax household income on mortgage payments or housing costs.

Based on that 30% guide, on a $950,000 home loan with a 30-year term at 6.04% interest, you would need a monthly household income (after tax) of at least $19,067.27 to comfortably afford the home loan repayment of $5,720.18.

Before you commit to a mortgage of any size, make you understand all the costs associated with it, including:

1

Interest

This is the cost of borrowing money, paid over the life of the loan.

2

Lender’s mortgage insurance (LMI)

If your deposit is less than 20%, you may have to pay LMI to protect the lender in case of default.

3

Home loan fees

Fees charged by the lender to set up and manage your home loan.

4

Stamp duty (if applicable)

A state government tax on property purchases.

5

Conveyancing fees

Costs of legal work involved in buying a home, including title searches and property transfers.

FAQs about mortgage repayments

Mortgage repayments are calculated based on your loan principal (what you borrow), interest rate and loan term. For example, if you have a $950,000 mortgage with a 6.04% interest rate for 30 years, your mortgage monthly repayments would be $5,720.18.

The mortgage repayments are calculated so that by the end of the loan term, the initial loan amount (principal) and accrued interest are fully repaid.

Interest on a mortgage is generally calculated daily (based on the outstanding balance of your loan) but charged monthly at the time of your repayments. There are a few different ways you can save interest – for example:

    circle-green-tick
  • By moving your repayments to weekly or fortnightly instead of monthly. This simple change can shave thousands of dollars and years off your home loan.
  • circle-green-tick
  • By using an offset account linked to your home loan. This offsets your home loan balance and interest charged. Deposit your salary and savings into your offset account to reduce your amount owing.

Yes, you can typically reduce your monthly repayments by making some changes to your home loan, including:

    circle-green-tick
  • Ask your lender for a lower rate: Negotiate a lower rate with your lender by asking them to match your rate to the lower rate offered to new customers.
  • circle-green-tick
  • Refinance to a new home loan: If you can’t negotiate a lower rate with your current lender, you could refinance to a new home loan with another lender.
  • circle-green-tick
  • Switch to minimum repayments: If you’re paying more than your minimum home loan repayment, call your lender and ask about switching to the lower minimum amount.
  • circle-green-tick
  • Switch to interest-only repayments: Switching to interest-only repayments will reduce your mortgage repayments for a period of time, but you'll pay more interest over the life of the loan.
