Help to buy percentages

How does the Help to buy percentages work out?
In all the examples they show 5% from you, 20% from the Gov and then 75% from the lender.
Is it correct to assume if you fronted up 10% that the Gov would then reduce their part to 15% and the lender in all scenarios provides 75%?

No.
You can choose 10% or 20%. Your deposit does not mean the equity loan will be reduced.
The only stipulation is that you borrow at least 25% of the purchase price.I am a mortgage broker.
