Plan Smarter, Borrow Better – Use Our Calculator to Make Informed Financial Decisions!
When banks calculate what you can afford to borrow which is known as your borrowing power, they use additional criteria and an alternative interest rate known as a ‘test interest rate’. To discover your borrowing power and more use the mortgage snapshot.

Loan Type: Principal & Interest loans are structured so you pay the interest and the total mortgage down, interest only loans you are paying interest only so your mortgage balance remains static.

Payment Frequency: Making fortnightly payments may help reduce interest costs over time.
When you set your original loan term your repayments will pay off your total mortgage exactly at the end of term. If you increase your repayments early on you reduce the total mortgage at the beginning of the term. This in turn decreases the amount of interest due in each payment – compounding your repayment by using more of it each payment to reduce your mortgage.
Loan Amount: Enter your current (or potential) mortgage balance.
Loan Term: nter the number of years you have remaining on your mortgage (not your fixed term interest rate, but your actual mortgage).
Interest Rate: Enter your current interest rate – or the average rate you expect to pay over the future.
