How does a home loan repayment calculator work?

A home loan repayment calculator takes multiple variables into account before coming to a final estimated repayment dollar amount represented on a monthly basis.

The calculator will ask the user to enter information about their loan amount, their loan term, the intended property usage (live-in or investment), rate type (variable or fixed) and repayment type (principal and interest or interest only).

After calculating, the user will be able to see their estimated repayment amount as well as their total loan repayments and the total interest charged over the life of the loan.

Important information about our rates
*Our home loan rates are based on loan-to-value ratio (LVR) pricing and loans are subject to credit criteria and eligibility requirements. Rates apply to new customers only and are subject to change without notice.

Comparison rates are based on a loan amount of $150,000 over a 25-year term. They factor in fees associated with applying for the loan, ongoing fees and fees associated with leaving the loan. Our fixed loans roll to a variable principal and interest rate at the end of the specified fixed term. If the interest only period is not specified, the comparison rate is calculated on a 5-year period.

WARNING: The comparison rates are true only for the examples given and may not include all fees and charges. Different terms, fees or other loan amounts might result in a different comparison rate.
