Calculators

Run the numbers before you talk to anyone

Five calculators covering the questions that actually come up. No email address required, no results held back — the figures update as you type.

01 · Repayment

Loan repayment estimator

The core calculation behind every amortised loan: a fixed amount, borrowed at a fixed rate, repaid in equal instalments. Adjust the term to see the trade-off — a longer term lowers the repayment and raises the total interest, every single time.

Assumes a fully drawn principal and interest loan with no fees. Fees are why the comparison rate exists, and why it's always slightly higher than the headline rate.

Estimated repayment per month
$525.00
Total interest
$6,500
Total repayable
$31,500
Estimate only. Based on a fully drawn principal & interest loan at the rate you enter, with no fees included. Your actual repayment depends on the lender, the product and the rate you are approved for. This is not a quote or an offer of credit.

02 · Consolidation

Debt consolidation comparison

Enter each debt with its balance and rate. The calculator estimates what you're paying now across all of them and compares it to a single consolidated loan.

Watch both outputs. A lower monthly repayment with a higher total interest bill means you've bought cash flow, not savings — sometimes exactly what's needed, but worth knowing.

Current repayments are modelled on a typical credit card minimum (interest plus 2% of balance). Your actual minimums will differ.

Compare consolidating your debts

Enter what you owe now and what rate each debt charges. Change any figure to see the difference.

Read this before you consolidate. Stretching debt over a longer term can lower the monthly repayment but increase the total interest you pay. Current repayments are modelled on a typical minimum (interest plus 2% of the balance), which is how most credit cards work — your actual minimums may differ. This is an estimate, not a quote.

03 · Capacity

Borrowing power estimate

A rough indication only. Real serviceability assessment applies a buffer above the actual rate — APRA guidance is generally three percentage points — plus a minimum living expense benchmark and the lender's own credit policy.

Note that credit card limits count against you even when the balance is zero. Closing an unused card can lift borrowing capacity more than most people expect.

A rough guide to what a lender might consider. Every lender assesses differently.

Repayment at actual rate, 30 yrs
$0.00
Very rough guide only. Lenders assess serviceability using a buffer above the actual rate (APRA guidance is generally 3%), a minimum living-expense benchmark, and their own credit policy. Your real capacity may be significantly higher or lower. This is not a pre-approval.

04 · Business

Business loan cost calculator

Includes an establishment fee, because in commercial lending it's often a percentage of the loan rather than a flat charge, and it changes the real cost considerably.

If a lender quotes you a factor rate instead of an annual rate, convert it before comparing. A factor of 1.25 on $100,000 means repaying $125,000 — over twelve months that's an effective annual cost far above 25%.

05 · Extra repayments

Extra repayment calculator

Small consistent overpayments have a disproportionate effect, because every extra dollar comes straight off the principal and stops accruing interest for the remaining life of the loan.

Check your contract first — some fixed-rate loans cap extra repayments or charge a break cost.

About these calculators. Results are estimates based entirely on the figures you enter and the assumptions stated with each tool. They are not a quote, an offer of credit, or a pre-approval, and they do not take your objectives, financial situation or needs into account. Actual repayments depend on the lender, the product, the fees and the rate you are approved for. For independent guidance, ASIC's Moneysmart service is free.

Checking your options does not affect your credit score. A credit check is only done if you decide to apply with a lender.
