Guarantor Home Loan Calculator

Guarantor home loan calculator

Savings.com.au’s guarantor home loan calculator can help you work out whether you’re likely to be approved for a home loan with a guarantor or not. This calculator will factor in:

The size of your loan and deposit
How much equity your guarantors have in their property)

Not every lender will accept a borrower with a guarantor, while those that do will each have different criteria for who they’ll accept. So consider speaking to a lending specialist and read the terms and conditions of a loan before making a commitment.

Can I get a mortgage with a guarantor?

If you can’t quite manage to scrape together enough for a 20% deposit on the property you desire, another method of securing a home loan is by using a guarantor. This is where someone else (typically an immediate family member like a parent) has agreed to take responsibility for making repayments in the event that you can’t. They might also offer their own property as collateral.

This option can be useful for people who:

Have lower incomes
Are struggling to reach their deposit goal
Have bad credit histories
Have a shaky employment history

But not every loan with a guarantor will be approved. You’ll likely still need to have a decent history of savings while your guarantor(s) will likely need to have a stable income or a sizeable amount of equity in their own property.

Our guarantor home loan calculator can help you figure out if your guarantor will be enough.
