How this mortgage calculator works

This calculator turns a loan amount, interest rate and term into the repayment you would make each week, fortnight or month, and the total interest over the life of the loan. Enter a purchase price and deposit, or the loan directly, and it works out the rest.

Worked examples

Same home. Two deposits.

Both are an $800,000 home at 5.50% over 30 years, fortnightly — the deposit is the only change.

Offset and extra repayments · Methodology

A 20% deposit — $160,000 on an $800,000 home — keeps your loan at or under 80% of the value and clear of high-LVR pricing. Banks can still lend above that for some buyers, and the First Home Loan allows a 5% deposit, subject to income caps.
