Cost & Affordability

The price a builder quotes is rarely what a home costs. See the all-in number — stamp duty, GST, the builder's other charges, society costs and the true cost of your loan — then check it against your income and savings before you commit.

Enter just 5 numbers — we fill every charge and tax with sensible defaults you can fine-tune later.

The home

Under constr.

Your money

Rule of thumb:your home loan + existing EMIs should stay under ~40% of take-home income (50% gets risky). Your loan funds the flat — taxes & charges come from savings.
