How much cash do I need to buy?
Tell us the price and the loan, and we'll work out the cash you need up front — your deposit plus stamp duty, government charges and fees. Every figure is an estimate you can change; government charges vary by state and this is general information only, not financial, credit or tax advice.
Cash you'll need
$180,120
Cash you'll need 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.
