How the calculator works

The repayment is the fixed monthly amount that repays the loan over the term at the rate you enter, with interest worked out monthly on what you still owe. Early in the loan most of each repayment is interest; the chart shows how that shifts towards capital each year.

An extra payment each month comes off the capital, so the next month’s interest is lower. Small extra amounts, paid early, cut years off the loan.

What the result leaves out

  • Changes in the interest rate. When the prime rate moves, your rate and repayment move with it.

  • Your bank’s initiation fee, monthly service fee and any life or home insurance it requires.

  • Transfer duty, transfer costs and bond registration costs, which you pay when you buy.

Your bank decides your rate and repayment when it approves the loan. The information on this website is general and should not be seen as financial advice or a recommendation.
