Disclaimers

  • This is a model, not a prediction. Amounts and repayment periods are estimates only, actual amounts may be higher or lower.
  • Results are based on information you provide and do not take your personal circumstances into account.
  • It applies to loans where your regular repayment includes both interest and the gradual repayment of the amount borrowed.
  • The calculator is not intended to be your sole source of information when making a financial decision. Consider getting advice from a licensed finance professional, if you need it.
  • Using this calculator does not guarantee you will be eligible for a loan. You will need to satisfy your lender’s lending criteria.
  • The average interest rate reflects the most recent Economic and Financial Statistics data published by the Reserve Bank of Australia. https://www.rba.gov.au/statistics/tables/xls/f06hist.xls

Assumptions

  • Interest rates do not change for the life of the loan.
  • Interest is calculated by compounding on the same frequency as the repayment selected, i.e. weekly, fortnightly, monthly quarterly or annually.
  • It does not take into account up-front costs such as loan establishment fees.
  • It does not consider your ability to make the repayments shown.
  • To help you consider interest rate changes, you can explore the effect of a higher or lower interest rate on your repayments.
  • Affordable repayments cannot be less than the fees entered.
