Does making extra home loan repayments pay off your loan faster?

Extra repayments reduce your loan balance sooner, which may reduce total interest and shorten your loan term.

With a Tiimely Own home loan, you can

  • Make unlimited additional repayments on variable rate home loans.
  • Make $20,000 additional repayments per term year on fixed rate home loans.
  • Access any additional repayments you make with free redraw.

Important information about rates
*Tiimely Own products are subject to loan-to-value ratio (LVR) requirements, eligibility and credit criteria and terms and conditions. Rates apply to new Tiimely Home customers only and are subject to change without notice.

**The rates shown for products available from panel lenders via Tiimely Home brokers are current based on information from panel lenders and are subject to change without notice. The home loan with the lowest current interest rate is not necessarily the most suitable for your circumstances, you may not qualify for that particular product and the product may not include all the features relevant to you. All applications are subject to lender assessment and approval, and eligibility requirements and terms and conditions apply.

^The comparison rates displayed are calculated for a loan of $150,000 over 25 years. If a comparison rate relates to a Tiimely Own loan with a fixed interest rate, the comparison rate has been calculated on the basis that our current applicable variable rate will apply at the end of the fixed rate period. If a comparison rate relates to an interest only loan with a fixed rate, the comparison rate has been calculated on the basis that the interest only period is the same duration as the fixed rate period. If a comparison rate relates to an interest only loan with a variable interest rate, the comparison rate has been calculated on the basis that the interest only period is 5 years.

WARNING: The comparison rate is true only for the example given and may not include all fees and charges. Different terms, fees or other loan amounts might result in a different comparison rate. All interest rates are subject to change without notice.
