Frequently Asked Questions

Does paying fortnightly really save money?

It can. Twenty-six fortnightly payments of half the monthly amount equals thirteen monthly payments a year rather than twelve, so you clear the principal faster. The comparison table shows exactly how much that saves on your numbers.

What is the difference between the interest rate and the APR?

The interest rate covers only interest. The APR also folds in fees, so it is the fairer number for comparing lenders. This calculator uses the plain interest rate you enter.

Can I model extra repayments?

Shorten the term to see the effect. Reducing a 5-year term to 4 shows both the higher payment required and the interest you avoid, which is the same trade-off an extra repayment makes.

Is a fixed or variable rate assumed?

Fixed. The calculation assumes the rate you enter applies for the whole term. If your rate can change, run the calculation again at a higher rate to see how exposed you are.
