Home Loan Amortisation Calculator

How to use our Home Loan Repayment Calculator
Our Home Loan Repayment Calculator helps you estimate your mortgage repayments in Australia and understand how a loan may reduce over time. It is useful for budgeting, comparing loan terms, and visualising an amortisation schedule (how each repayment is split between interest and principal). The calculator is designed for planning only and works best when you enter realistic assumptions.
Important information: Results are estimates only and do not constitute a quote. Interest rates and loan features vary by lender and may change. This information is general and does not take into account your objectives, financial situation or needs. Consider whether it is appropriate for you and seek professional advice if required.
How to complete the calculator fields (in order):
1. Purchase Price: Enter the property purchase price. If you expect to borrow extra for costs, you may choose to include amounts such as stamp duty, insurance, and other buying costs in this figure so your estimate reflects your likely loan size. Enter whole numbers only (no dots or commas).
2. Deposit or Equity Value: Enter your cash deposit or usable equity from another property (if applicable). A higher deposit generally reduces the loan amount and can lower repayments. Enter whole numbers only (no dots or commas).
3. Term of Loan (years): Select the number of years to repay the loan. Longer terms usually reduce repayments but increase total interest paid over the life of the loan.
4. Interest Rate (% per annum): Select an interest rate for the simulation. Use a realistic rate and consider testing higher rates to understand “rate rise” risk.
5. Calculate: Click calculate to generate your results.
How to interpret the results:
1. Repayment estimate: Use this as a starting point for affordability checks, remembering real loans may include fees and different features.
2. Amortisation charts: Review the loan balance chart to see how your balance falls over time, and the interest versus principal chart to understand how early repayments are typically interest-heavy, then shift toward principal reduction later.
3. Compare scenarios: Adjust the term, deposit/equity, or interest rate and recalculate to compare loan terms and see how changes affect repayments and total interest over time.

The Reserve Bank’s latest meeting minutes have added more detail to the message borrowers heard after the earlier August rate decision: policy makers are not yet ready to declare victory over inflation, even if some parts of the economy are clearly slowing. For households, sole traders and SMEs, that means borrowing plans still need to be built around current lending conditions rather than expectations of a quick fall in rates. - read more
The Reserve Bank of Australia’s August decision to leave the cash rate unchanged at 4.35% keeps a familiar message in place for Australian borrowers: relief may come eventually, but loan decisions still need to be made on today’s numbers. For households, sole traders and SMEs, the practical issue is not only where rates sit now, but how lenders assess affordability while policy remains restrictive. - read more
The latest Reserve Bank financial aggregates extend a pattern that has been building for several months: Australian businesses are still leaning on credit, even while borrowing costs remain elevated and lenders continue to scrutinise applications closely. Private sector credit continued to grow over the month and across the year, with business lending again a key contributor to overall momentum. - read more
APRA’s decision to keep the mortgage serviceability buffer at 3 percentage points is a timely reminder that loan approval is still being judged on resilience, not just today’s advertised interest rate. The buffer requires regulated lenders to test whether borrowers could still manage repayments if rates were materially higher than the loan rate being offered. - read more
The Reserve Bank of Australia’s latest policy commentary has reinforced a message that borrowers cannot afford to ignore: interest rate relief is not something to build a budget around too early. While inflation has eased from its peak, the central bank remains alert to price pressures, wage growth, productivity challenges and the possibility that demand may prove more resilient than expected. - read more
