Changed 01 Oct 2026. The equity goal is now measured on
investment property equity, with the target grown by CPI to each year because you entered it
in today's dollars. Your home and your other assets are not counted toward it, because the
target is the property capital that produces the income. They are still in Total value and in
Finances.

Trust ownership, negative gearing losses are trapped inside the structure and cannot offset personal income. Tax benefit is removed from this projection. Depreciation deductions exist within the structure but do not reduce your personal tax. Serviceability figures are indicative only, lenders treat trust and company income differently by institution, with many applying significant shading or excluding it entirely. Refer to your mortgage broker and accountant before making decisions based on these projections.

The inputs that move this projection most
Leave a field blank to use the figure shown. It will be marked Assumed until you confirm it.
Not sure uses interest only.
Years from purchase. Blank or 0: interest only for the whole loan.
Vacant land construction, or demolition + greater dwelling count. Knock-down rebuilds (same dwelling count) and substantial renovations do not qualify.
A separate, older (2017) test for Div 40 plant & equipment depreciation only - broader than "eligible new build" above. Only needs ticking if that box is unticked (e.g. a like-for-like knock-down rebuild: genuinely never lived in, but doesn't add dwelling supply, so it fails the 2026 reform test while passing this one).
Editable later from the property panel.
A caravan or mobile home, a hotel, motel, inn, hostel or boarding house, student accommodation and a boat are not residential dwellings under the new law (s 26-160). A car park or storage unit is not a dwelling. A house or apartment let short stay is still a dwelling; whether its losses are limited is for your accountant to confirm.Capital works: 2.5% for 40 years, or 4% for 25 years for a hotel, motel or guest house with 10 or more short stay bedrooms and construction begun after 26 February 1992 (s 43-145). An older hotel is 2.5%. Only what you enter is claimed.
Assumed: full 40 years left.
The capital works deduction is worked out on what the building cost to build, not the price you pay.
4% a year for 25 years applies only to buildings used mainly for manufacturing or processing (ITAA 1997 s 43-145). Storage and logistics: 2.5% a year for 40 years. Your accountant confirms the use.
Commercial modelling.Rent is annual and net of outgoings: on a net lease the tenant pays council, water, insurance and land tax. It grows at your portfolio rent growth. Options belong to the tenant: 0 options and 0% assumes no exercise and no step.
Options belong to the tenant. 0 options and 0% assumes no exercise and no step. An exercised option resets the rent by this figure in the year its new term starts.
Net rent is net of outgoings. Gross rent includes them, so council, water and insurance come out of it. You can tick which outgoings the tenant pays on the property page, under Leases.
Override the automatic step-up with specific years and new base rents. Useful if you have signed lease terms with agreed reviews.

Advanced modelling mode
Please read carefully before signing
Advanced mode adds serviceability modelling, savings projections, pre-tax and post-tax cash flow lines, and other investment tracking to this dashboard. These features are provided for illustrative and modelling purposes only.
The figures produced in advanced mode do not constitute financial advice, credit advice, tax advice, or any other form of professional advice. Serviceability calculations use simplified assumptions and do not reflect the lending criteria of any specific lender. Actual borrowing capacity depends on lender policies, living expenses, credit history, and other factors your broker will assess.
Always seek advice from a licensed financial adviser, mortgage broker, and accountant before making any investment or borrowing decisions. StratMap does not hold an Australian Financial Services Licence and is not a credit licensee.
Calculations have not been independently verified and may contain errors. Growth rates, yields, tax estimates, and serviceability figures are indicative only. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results. This tool is not a substitute for professional advice.

Investment detail

Advanced mode modelling tool. Figures are indicative estimates only and not financial advice.
Offset balance reduces the linked property's effective loan, lowering interest before that year's interest is calculated.
% of new saving and property cash flow
On: each year this share of the household's saving and of each property's cash flow after tax and repayments is added to the balance interest is worked out on, and this share of a later purchase's deposit and duty is taken out. Off: the balance stays at the figure entered in every year.
Leave it blank, or click "Use the average", to apply the figure for the type from Projection assumptions: shares 9.3%, super 7.5%, cash 2.6% (10 year averages), fixed interest 5.2%, gold 9.0% (30/20 year averages, before fees and tax). An offset is 0, it lowers loan interest instead. Super already includes employer contributions, so a recurring SG contribution is the cash you add, not the growth.
Leave the amount blank if this investment just grows on its own with nothing regularly added or drawn. Set it and it counts in your cash flow and the Review's "does this add up" check.
Combined uses one reference age below. If you'd rather track each person's super separately, pick a person, save, then add the other person's as its own entry.
Used to compute the ATO Schedule 7 minimum draw rate as you age through retirement. Engine bumps your draw to the minimum automatically (under SIS Reg 1.06(9A) it's mandatory). Pre-filled from your age on file, change it if it's wrong.
Age you intend to start drawing a pension (access age 60+). Earnings stay tax-free in pension phase. Leave blank to model accumulation only.
Your intended draw rate. ATO minimums by age: under 65=4%, 65-74=5%, 75-79=6%, 80-84=7%, 85-89=9%, 90-94=11%, 95+=14%. Engine auto-bumps to the minimum at each age if your input is lower.
Transfer balance cap (FY26): $1.9M. Engine splits any balance above the cap into accumulation phase at pension-start year, taxed at 15% on earnings (vs tax-free in pension). Recontribution / splitting / multi-account strategies = accountant + financial planner.
ASX 200 long-run avg ~4%. Dividend income flows into your cashflow projection.
Portion of dividends carrying imputation credits. AU equities avg ~70-80%. Grossed-up credit shown on row chip.
When on, dividends are reinvested into the holding instead of paid as cashflow. Effective growth rate becomes growth + dividend yield. Most ASX listed companies offer DRIP at a small discount to market.
CGT on sale: 50% discount applied to gains for individual / trust holdings held >12 months. SMSF holdings get 33⅓% discount. Net proceeds reflected in liquidation cash event.

CGT estimate uses the marginal rates from your salary fields, including the Medicare levy. A jointly held property splits the gain 50/50 on title and taxes each half from that owner's own income upward, so the half of an owner with no income is taxed from the bottom of the scale. A custom share such as 99/1 is not modelled. Carried-forward losses reduce the taxable gain: the property's quarantined or entity loss balance first, then each owner's own carried tax loss. A company or SMSF pays its own flat rate on the gain (an SMSF after a one-third discount when held more than 12 months, a company with no discount), with no split at 1 July 2027. On a sale before 1 July 2027 the discount follows the structure: 50% personal, joint and trust. On a sale from 1 July 2027 by a personal, joint or trust owner: bought before that date, the gain is split at 1 July 2027, with the discount on the part before it and indexation with a 30% minimum on the part after; bought on or after it, indexation with the 30% minimum, and a new build takes the lower of the two methods. Confirm with your accountant. Not financial or tax advice.
