Borrowing power, estimated

Know the ceiling before you shop.

Two numbers, from figures already in the app: what you could pull out, and what you could buy. A guide, not a pre-approval.

The Compound borrowing power screen explaining that the estimate uses the same approach banks use, with income details below.
The estimate, and every input behind it — all editable.

How it works

Common questions

Is this a pre-approval?

No. It is an estimate calculated from the income, expenses and property figures you have entered, using typical lender criteria. No lender has assessed it, and a real application can land anywhere either side of it.

How is the estimate worked out?

It follows the general approach lenders use: your before-tax income and counted rent against your living costs and existing commitments, with a servicing buffer, then converts that into an equity release and a purchase price with deposit and costs allowed for.

Does Compound arrange loans?

No. Compound is a tracking tool and does not hold an Australian Financial Services Licence or a credit licence. What you might do with the number is a conversation for a licensed broker or lender.

What a fantastic and innovative app this is. It has helped me combine all my finances in one place rather than having to check 5-10 individual apps. Keep the new features coming Compound!

Such a great app - combines all my assets in one place and models when I can stop work. It is so accurate, customer service is great, app is slick and works well. Data secure and never had an issue. Highly recommend
