Extending our time value of money
calculations: Borrowing Capacity
• Let us assume that Mr Smith has an annual income of $100,000
per annum and wishes to borrow to buy a home.
• He considers two possible banks, each bank with a different
lending policy.
• For loan proposals like these a bank will have a policy called a
borrowing capacity. This is the amount of your gross income that
you can devote to your loan payments.
• Let us assume that the relevant interest rate starts at 6.5% per
annum, calculated monthly over a 30 year period.
• Bank A has a policy of thirty percent borrowing capacity while
Bank B has a thirty five percent borrowing capacity policy.

Part A: the first calculations
• How much can Mr Smith can borrow from Bank A?
– 30% of $100,000 = $30,000 per annum or $2,500 per month,
– This means at 6.5% per annum over 30 years with monthly
payments the maximum is PMT = 2,500; i = 6.5/12=0.5416666,
n = 30 * 12= 360, FV = 0, CPT PV = $395,527
– Mr Smith can borrow $395,527 from Bank A.
• How much can Mr Smith borrow from Bank B?
– 35% of $100,000 = $35,000 per annum or $2,916.66 per
month.
– This means at 6.5% per annum over 30 years with monthly
payments the maximum is PMT = $2,916.66; i =
6.5/12=0.5416666, n = 30 * 12= 360, FV = 0, CPT PV =
$461,447,17
– Mr Smith can borrow $461,447.17 from Bank B

Impact on After tax income
• Using a simple online tax calculator Mr Smith
will have to pay $24,947 in tax over the year,
so his monthly after tax income is ($100,000 -
$24,947) /12 = $6,254.42 per month.
• Borrowing from Bank A means Mr Smith will
spend 39.99% of his after tax (net) income on
his mortgage. If he borrows from Bank B Mr
Smith will spend 46.63% of his after tax (net)
income.

Part B: the next step.
• Two years have passed and interest rates start to increase. The loan mortgage
rate goes from 6.5% to 8%. Let’s see what happens.
• As two years have passed Mr Smith has paid off part of his mortgage:
– Bank A: Mr Smith owes Bank A the present value of 28 years of monthly payments
of $2,500 at 6.5% per annum: PMT = 2,500, n = 28*12= 336, FV = 0, i = 6.5/12 =
0.541666, COMP PV = 386,389.16.
– Compute new payments at 8%: PV = 386,389.16, n = 336, i = 8/12 = 0.66666, FV= 0,
COMP PMT = $2,885.39.
– Bank B: Mr Smith owes Bank B the present value of 28 years of monthly payments
of $2,916.66 at 6.5% per annum: PMT 2,9166.66, n = 336, i = 0.541666, COMP PV =
450,786.32.
– Compute new payments at 8%: PV = 450,786.66, n = 336, i = 0.66666, FV = 0, COMP
PMT = $3,366,29.
• Of course, Mr Smith’s salary has increased over the last two years, it is now
$106,000 per annum. His monthly after tax income is $6,569.42.
• He is now paying 43.94% of his net income to Bank A or 51.24% of his net
income to Bank B.

Part C: things get worse
• Rising interest rates mean that the economy is now slowing. Mr
Smith’s industry (the building industry) is hit particularly hard.
• Mr Smith’s employer announces that all employees will be on a 8 day
fortnight and 80% salary. Mr Smith finds that many others in his
industry have lost their jobs and no-one is hiring, so the 80% salary is
the best deal around.
• His new salary is 0.8 * 106,000 = 84,800. This means a monthly net
salary of $5,456.42.
• If he had borrowed from Bank A he is now paying 52.88% of net
salary. If he had borrowed from Bank B he is now paying 61.69% of
net salary.

Part D: just when you think things
cannot get worse, they do.
• The prudential regulator is concerned by the impact of the economic
slowdown on the asset quality of some bank’s loan portfolios, and
conducts a detailed analysis of each bank.
• The outcome is favourable to Bank A, but the regulator is worried about
Bank B and instructs it to raise more capital to support its loan portfolio
in case of future losses.
• The outcome for Bank B is that it must increase its loan interest rate by
0.35% to 8.35%.
• Assuming the same loan details as in Part B, but the same income as
Part C, Mr Smith’s new payments to Bank B are now: PV = 450,786.88,
n = 336, i =8.35/12 = 0.695833, FV = 0, CPT PMT = 3,474.85.
• This means that Mr Smith would be paying 63.68% of his net income to
Bank B.
– Can he afford to keep making those payments?

Lesson: Borrowing capacity
• Just because one bank is willing to lend you
more money does not mean it is a good idea to
borrow that much.
• You need to consider issues such as:
– What happens if interest rate rise?
– How likely is it that interest rates will rise?
– Will I keep my job?
• More conservative borrowing capacity limits
often exist for reason.
