For Avalon Apartments in New Zealand.
All amounts are in New Zealand dollars (NZD).
Every figure below is one you enter yourself. This calculator shows no Avalon price, rent or terms — it is a savings illustration, not a quote, an offer or financial advice.
YOUR ESTIMATED DEPOSIT TIMELINE
Where your deposit comes from
- Your savings
- Eligible KiwiSaver (estimated)
- Target home price
- Price less target deposit
The remaining purchase amount would need funding. This is not a mortgage offer or affordability assessment.
Your weekly commitments
- Rent + weekly saving
- KiwiSaver credited separately
KiwiSaver credited may include employer contributions; it is not all an extra cost from your take-home pay. Living costs are not included.

Register your interest ↗What does this calculator assume?
It uses the home price and timeframe you enter. Contributions stay constant, using 52 weeks per year and monthly checkpoints for up to 30 years. It assumes no investment returns, interest, fees, market changes or government contributions. KiwiSaver values can rise or fall. Purchase costs are additional. Figures are illustrations, not an offer or personal financial advice.
Can I use my KiwiSaver for the deposit?
Eligible first-home buyers may be able to withdraw after at least 3 years of membership, leaving $1,000 in the account. Australian superannuation transfers cannot be withdrawn. Confirm the amount and withdrawal timing with your provider and solicitor before committing. Read Inland Revenue’s first-home withdrawal guidance ↗
Does my rent count towards my deposit?
Not in this illustration. It keeps rent separate, so only the savings you enter build towards the deposit. Whatever you go on to sign, have your solicitor explain it in writing before you commit.
What happens when I reach my target?
You would still need lender approval, confirmation of any KiwiSaver withdrawal, and to meet the conditions and deadlines of whatever you sign. The deposit share is adjustable because lender requirements vary. Ask your solicitor to review any agreement, including fees and exit terms, before you commit.
