Your files stay private in this quick check

Statement files are read in your browser. This static page does not upload statement files to Docked. If you ask for help, Docked receives the affordability summary and file names, not the statement files.

Instant affordability guide

CSV, TXT, OFX, and QIF exports work best. Text-based PDFs may be estimated; scanned PDFs need manual figures or human review.

Common questions

Is my bank data shared with lenders?

No. Calculations run locally in your browser. Statement uploads are not sent to Docked, banks, brokers, or lenders unless you choose to submit a help request.

How accurate are these calculators?

They are a practical guide, not an approval. Lenders still assess income, spending, credit history, deposit, property type, buffers, and policy rules before making a decision.

What is LVR and why does it matter?

LVR means loan-to-value ratio. It compares the loan amount to the property value, and it can affect lender options, interest rates, and whether lenders mortgage insurance applies.

Do you provide credit advice?

Docked provides calculators, education, and enquiry routing. Any credit assistance should come from a licensed broker, lender, or authorised credit representative.

What documents do brokers usually ask for?

Common documents include ID, payslips, bank statements, tax returns for self-employed borrowers, loan statements, rates notices, rental income evidence, and details of assets, debts, and living expenses.

Can self-employed borrowers get a home loan?

Yes, but lenders usually review business income differently. A broker may compare full-doc and alt-doc options, business financials, BAS, tax returns, income stability, and loan purpose.
