Use our handy borrowing power calculator to get an estimate of how much you might be able to borrow. 

The amount you may be able to borrow is determined by your financial situation. This is largely made up of your income, your financial commitments, current savings and your credit history.

You'll also need to consider your spending habits and any existing commitments such as personal or car loans, credit card debt, even travel expenses.
