How much cash do I need to buy?

Cash you'll need up front

Approximately $180,120 up front

To buy at $750,000 with a $600,000 loan, you'll need approx. $180,120 up front — that's your deposit plus stamp duty ($27,937) and the other government charges and fees.

What this includes

  • Stamp duty plus the government and professional fees you entered
  • An LMI estimate when LVR is over 80%

What it doesn't include

  • Lender approval or your actual LMI premium (varies by lender)
  • Tax outcomes and ongoing loan repayments

LVR (how much you owe compared with the property's value) and LMI (a one-off insurance lenders usually charge when you borrow more than 80%, which protects the lender, not you).

Guide only — not financial, credit or tax advice. Stamp duty is estimated from the standard state scale (first-home concessions applied only where toggled); mortgage registration and transfer fees default to the selected state's current figures (editable; SA/WA/VIC/QLD transfer fees scale with value — verify for higher-value purchases). This tool does not calculate any tax (including capital gains tax); for tax matters, ask your accountant.

Estimate only — general information, not financial, credit, or tax advice. Based on assumptions that may not reflect your actual outcomes; seek advice from a licensed professional.
