You can use this calculator to work out your home loan repayments with different loan sizes, interest rates, loan terms and repayment options.

How Do I Calculate My Home Loan Repayments Using The Calculator?

Simply enter your loan amount, loan term, interest rate and loan repayment type and you will see the results. You can toggle between monthly, fortnightly and weekly repayment frequency in the results section.

What Interest Rate Should I Use?

You can use the Bank Standard Variable Rate (BSVR) of a major bank, less a 0.7 percentage point discount. As for other lenders, check their interest rates online or enquire with them and enter the interest rate accordingly. The discount varies from lender to lender. But you can assume 0.7 percentage points if you have not secured a lender or a mortgage broker to confirm anything yet. Keep in mind that our mortgage brokers may be able to get you a bigger discount on any standard interest rate. Suppose interest rates were to increase; to determine your home loan repayments, put in an interest rate about 3 percentage points higher than the current rate. This would help you figure out if you would be able to afford the loan if rates went up.

What Loan Term Should I Use?

Generally, most mortgages in Australia are for a 30-year term. However, you can choose any term you like, even up to 40 years, which is the maximum term offered in Australia. You must still be aware that the shorter your term, the higher your repayments. And, the faster you pay off the loan, the less interest you will ultimately pay.
