Home deposit explained
A deposit is cash contributed toward a property purchase. A larger deposit generally means a smaller amount needs to be financed, subject to the actual transaction.
Deposit percentage
Deposit percentage can be calculated by dividing the deposit by the property price.
Amount left to finance
In a simple planning model, the amount left to finance is the property price less the deposit.
Minimum deposits
Actual lender requirements can differ by borrower, property and product. The calculator does not set a lender's minimum deposit.
