 The Borrowing Power Calculator calculates the maximum loan amount available based on the income and expenses entered. Default values provided assist in giving an estimate of the expenses and other factors which may determine the amount available for a loan.

 - Borrowing power calculation to be based on above amended living expenses.
 </li>
 <li>b) The cost of living expenses are sourced from the Melbourne Institute's Household Expenditure Measure Poverty Lines: Australia publication that is updated on a quarterly basis. This calculator takes into account the current cost of living, but does not take into account any expected future changes in the cost of living.</li>
 <li>c) Maximum percentage of income available - percentage of income available for paying expenses and servicing proposed borrowing, default currently set at 100%.</li>
 <li>d) Credit card monthly repayments are taken into account and this reduces the maximum loan determined by the calculator. The monthly credit card payments for a 3 year amortising loan with interest charged at 22% per annum with monthly compounding is computed and assumed to be paid by the borrower thus reducing their capacity to service other debt. Credit card fees which may be levied are not included in this calculation.</li>
 </ul>
 Loan Details
 
 a) Interest rate increase allowance buffer and floor interest rate- calculator has capability to assume a higher interest rate than rate entered by user when determining maximum amount that can be borrowed. This allows for affordability of possible rate increases under the loan. The current version of the calculator uses an interest rate buffer of 2.20%, or a floor interest rate of 7.40% (whichever is greater).
 The floor interest rate is the lowest rate that the calculator will use to assess borrowing power.
 b) Rounding rules for amount of loan - the calculator has the ability to round the maximum loan amount. The default is usually the current setting of the lower $1,000. Note that the amount of loan is calculated using the interest rate entered, plus any interest rate buffer or floor interest rate, and then the resulting loan amount is rounded as required.
 c) Interest rate for loan repayment - monthly repayment is calculated in respect of the rounded loan amount and using interest rate entered, not including any interest rate buffer or floor interest rate. Length of Month
 All months are assumed to be of equal length. In reality, many loans accrue on a daily basis leading to a varying number of days' interest dependent on the number of days in the particular month. Number of Weeks &amp; Fortnights in a Year
 One year is assumed to contain exactly 52 weeks or 26 fortnights. This implicitly assumes that a year has 364 days rather than the actual 365 or 366. Rounding of Amount of Each Repayment
 In practice, repayments are rounded to at least the nearer cent. However the calculator uses the unrounded repayment to derive the amount of interest payable at points along the graph and in total over the full term of the loan. This assumption allows for a smooth graph and equal repayment amounts.
