The figures provided should be used as an estimate only, should not be relied on as
true indication of your home loan repayments, or a quote or indication of
pre-qualification for any home loan product. The figures are based upon the
information you put into the calculator. We have made a number of assumptions when
producing the calculations including:
Loan term and loan amount
We assume the loan term and loan amount are what you enter into the calculator.
Interest rates
We assume that the rate you enter, is the rate that will apply to your loan for the
full loan term – even if you choose:
- a variable rate; or
- an interest only rate which, in practice, will only apply for a limited period
after which a different rate will apply.
Interest and repayments
The displayed total interest payable is the interest for the loan term, calculated on
the entered interest rate. We make the following assumptions about repayments:
- repayments are made monthly.
- your annual interest charge is divided equally over 12 monthly payments (in
practice, interest is calculated daily and charged monthly which can lead to
your interest charge varying between months).
- interest is charged to the loan account at the same frequency and on the same
day as the repayments are made (this may not be the case in practice).
- only your initial repayment amount is calculated. We assume that this repayment
amount is payable for the loan term. In practice, repayment amounts can change
for a variety of reasons.
- weekly and fortnightly loan repayment amounts are assumed to be a quarter and a
half of the monthly repayment amount respectively.
- when selecting interest-only (IO) repayments, it is assumed the loan reverts to
principal and interest (P&I) repayments after three years.
- If added, your extra repayment is taken to be made at the same time as your
monthly repayment.
