This tool will help you estimate your loan-to-market value ratio quickly and accurately.
How to Use the Loan Mortgage Insurance (LMI) Estimator
Enter the property value, the loan amount you are seeking, the interest rate, the loan term in years, and your annual income. Click ‘Calculate’ to see the estimated monthly repayment, Loan to Value Ratio (LVR), the LMI if applicable, and the total cost including LMI.
How It Calculates the Results
The calculator takes the loan amount, interest rate, loan term, and annual income to determine if LMI is needed and calculates the monthly repayment based on standard amortization formulas. If the LVR (Loan to Value Ratio) exceeds certain thresholds, LMI will be added to the total cost.
Limitations
This calculator provides an estimate only and doesn’t account for additional fees or changes in interest rates over time. Always consult with a financial advisor for comprehensive advice tailored to your situation.
