Calculate assessable self-employed income

When you work for yourself, your income can often vary. But when you’re applying for a loan, banks like to know more precisely what your assessable income will be. Lenders will usually rely on historical figures to get some idea.

Our self-employed income calculator can give you an idea of what your assessable income could be according to how most lenders will measure it.

Firstly, our calculator asks you to enter:

  • The value of the property you are seeking a loan for

  • Your deposit

Next, enter your personal income details. These include:

  • Your taxable income

  • Your rental income

  • Any other income you may have (leave blank any that don’t apply)

Finally, the calculator asks for your business income for two different years. For each, enter:

  • Your business’s net profit before tax

  • Depreciation of any equipment or other business items

  • Any superannuation contributions you may have made

  • Any one-off expenses, like new equipment or costs associated with relocating, for example (again, leave blank any that don’t apply to you)

The calculator will provide a rough gauge of your personal, business, and overall assessable income. It will also give a rough idea of the loan-to-value (LVR) ratio and make suggestions of deposit amounts that may help you secure a loan. For a more accurate assessment of your income and what you can afford to borrow, consider consulting your accountant or a mortgage broker for more information.

Getting a home loan while self-employed

Being self-employed doesn’t rule you out from obtaining a home loan but it can be more difficult. Lenders generally have specific requirements for sole traders and people who own their own businesses. These can also extend to contractors and freelance workers. If you fall into any of these categories, the best advice is to get your documentation in order as lenders will want detailed information about the nature of your business or work arrangements. It also pays to shop around for lenders who are prepared to consider your individual circumstances.
