Managing Your Mortgage Using a Home Loan Calculator

Maximising on any opportunities that save you money on your home loan and shorten the life of your loan are some of the easiest ways of ensuring that you own your home sooner rather than later. Home Loan Calculators can come in handy when you are preparing your mortgage management schedule, particularly with regards to making extra repayments. The following calculators can be used to better manage your current home loan:

Extra Repayments Calculator

As your interest is calculated daily, any extra repayments you make, will save you money on interest payments. This calculator helps determine the amount of interest saved if you increase your home loan repayments.

Lump Sum Repayments Simulator

Making additional ad hoc payments that exceed your minimum repayments, could save you money spent on interest payments and shorten the life of your home loan. Find out how much time and interest can be saved by paying a lump sum off your loan.

Home Loan Comparison Calculator

Whether you are looking into refinancing or getting your first home loan, you will need to compare your current home loan to others in the market. The home loan comparison calculator allows you to select any two home loans in the market and determine which is the cheapest in total fees and interest over the life of the loan.

Principal and Interest Calculator

Your home loan repayments are made up of your principal (the amount you borrowed) and your interest (calculated daily using the amount you still owe). Since interest is calculated daily, paying off your principal faster reduces the amount of interest you have to pay – ultimately saving you money. Find out what portion of your monthly repayments goes towards paying off your principal and what portion are your interest payments.

Your borrowing capacity will vary from lender to lender depending on your circumstances. To have a more precise assessment of your borrowing capabilities, talk to a local mortgage broker or call us today on 13 94 62.
