This is not an estimate: it is the same calculation a broker runs. Use it once you have income, monthly living costs and a property value; prefer estimate_borrowing_power before that, for a fast rough figure. It is the only tool here that models HECS/HELP debt, and the only one that can tell you a lender says no. It takes seconds rather than milliseconds, so call it when the answer matters, not to explore.","write_action":true,"price_micros":0,"input_schema":{"type":"object","properties":{"grossAnnualIncome":{"type":"number","description":"The APPLICANT'S OWN income before tax, AUD per year — not the household total. This differs from estimate_borrowing_power, which takes a combined figure.

One person's income here; a second applicant goes in partnerAnnualIncome, and only for a genuinely joint application.","minimum":0,"maximum":10000000},"monthlyExpenses":{"type":"number","description":"Living costs per MONTH, AUD — food, transport, utilities, insurance, childcare, subscriptions. Australians almost always quote this weekly or fortnightly, so convert carefully: a weekly figure is x52/12 and a fortnightly one is x26/12. Multiplying by 4 or 2 understates the year by a month and inflates capacity. EXCLUDE rent or a mortgage they would stop paying after settlement, and exclude anything passed in another argument — card limits and loan repayments are counted separately and would be double-counted. NOTE: lenders apply a minimum household expense benchmark, so a figure below it changes nothing — a household of two with two children sees no difference between $1,600 and $4,500. Do not report a low figure as the reason for a good result; below the benchmark it is not the reason for anything.","minimum":0,"maximum":200000},"propertyValue":{"type":"number","description":"The property's value, or the purchase price being considered, AUD.

Supply it when testing whether a specific loan is serviceable. Omitting it does NOT ask an open question — upstream assumes a loan of about 80% of the property value and reports whether THAT services, which can read as nine lenders declining when nobody asked about a specific loan.

Set it ONLY for a genuinely joint application. It is not for a parent helping with repayments, a guarantor, a housemate, or anyone contributing money without going on the loan: none of those are income a lender assesses, and adding them here can turn 'no lender will lend' into 'every lender will', which is the most damaging wrong answer this tool can give.

Include rent only when they will still be paying it after settlement. IMPORTANT: unlike a lender, this estimate applies NO minimum expense benchmark — it takes the figure as given.
