This extension page exists to support specific long-tail queries with formula-first explanations. It is intentionally narrow, deliberately opinion-free, and designed to lead into the relevant calculator rather than replace it.
Plain Figures does not recommend products, wrappers, or financial actions here. The goal is to make the arithmetic and the assumptions visible.
Core Formula
- Salary still drives the borrowing ceiling
- The deposit changes purchase price and LTV
- Lower LTV can improve pricing but does not remove affordability checks
Why deposit-specific pages matter
Adding a named deposit amount makes the query more decision-oriented because the user is usually already holding savings and wants to know what those funds unlock.
This is stronger intent than salary alone because it links income to capital available now.
What the deposit changes and what it does not
A deposit can improve the home-price range and reduce LTV, but it does not remove the need to pass affordability and stress tests on the debt itself.
That distinction is what the page should make clear.
FAQ
Does a bigger deposit always increase affordability?
It can raise the purchase-price range, but borrowing is still capped by lender affordability rules.
Why does LTV matter?
Lower LTV often improves product access and pricing because the lender is taking less collateral risk.
