Why is my borrowing power dropping with pay increase?

FHB at the very bottom end of borrowing scale.

With the new changes happening, FHB grant amount dropping soon and more rate rises expected I thought I’d check and see what position I’m in.

When I enter my current info into a calculator (CBA) it shows low 400s but with a 4% pay rise expected in the next few months (still keeping me in the 70k range) it drops my amount to high 300s.

I thought earning more even still at the low amount I earn would slightly improve what I could borrow? No debt or dependants and single income with high credit rating.
