What this calculator can help you estimate
A home loan repayment calculator can help you test different loan scenarios before you apply.
You can use it to estimate how repayments may change based on the loan amount, interest rate, loan term, repayment frequency and whether the loan is principal and interest or interest only.
This can be useful when comparing loan options, reviewing affordability, planning a refinance or working out whether a purchase price feels comfortable.
It should be used as a guide only. A proper loan assessment still needs to consider your income, expenses, debts, credit history, deposit, property type and lender policy.
What affects your loan repayments
Your home loan repayment is mainly affected by the loan amount, interest rate, loan term and repayment type.
A higher loan amount or higher interest rate will usually increase your repayments.
A longer loan term may reduce the regular repayment, but it can also increase the total interest paid over the life of the loan.
The repayment type also matters. Principal and interest repayments reduce the loan balance over time, while interest only repayments may be lower during the interest only period but do not reduce the debt.
Small changes can make a noticeable difference, so it is worth testing a few scenarios before deciding what feels comfortable.
Principal and interest vs interest only repayments
Principal and interest repayments include both the interest charged by the lender and a portion that reduces the loan balance.
This means the repayment is usually higher than interest only, but the debt reduces over time.
Interest only repayments only cover the interest charged during the interest only period. This may reduce the regular repayment in the short term, but the loan balance does not reduce unless you make extra repayments.
When the interest only period ends, repayments can increase because the remaining loan needs to be repaid over the remaining term.
The right option depends on your loan purpose, cash flow, tax position, lender policy and longer-term plans.
Why the estimate may differ from lender approval
A repayment calculator can help you understand the numbers, but it does not confirm whether a lender will approve the loan.
Lenders assess more than the repayment amount. They also look at income, expenses, existing debts, credit history, savings, deposit, property type, loan purpose and lender policy.
The interest rate used in the calculator may also differ from the rate available to you.
Some lenders may assess the loan using a higher buffer rate to test whether the loan remains affordable if rates increase.
This is why the calculator should be used as a starting point, not as a final approval figure.
