Frequently asked questions

There are lots of settings you can adjust using this home loan repayment calculator. Each one will affect your home loan repayments, the overall amount of interest you pay over the loan term, and more.

 

Make your loan term longer and your mortgage repayments will go down. If you make extra repayments on your loan, you’ll see that the overall interest you pay over the loan term reduces, and that you could pay your home loan off faster. Toggle between paying Principal & Interest, or Interest Only mortgage repayments, and notice how that affects your repayment amount and total interest charged.

Weekly repayments are calculated by dividing $1000 by 4 and rounding up if required ($1000 ÷ 4 = $250).
