Estimate your home loan repayments using standard principal-and-interest calculations.
This is an estimate only and does not include fees, offsets, redraw usage, or rate changes.
How this ANZ home mortgage calculator helps
If you are comparing home loans and want a quick estimate before speaking with a lender, this ANZ home mortgage calculator gives you a practical starting point. Enter your loan amount, interest rate, term, and repayment frequency to see what your repayments could look like.
It is especially useful for early planning, such as deciding whether you should buy now or wait, and whether a small change in borrowing amount will still fit your monthly budget.
What the calculator includes
- Principal and interest repayments using a standard amortisation formula
- Repayment frequency options (monthly, fortnightly, weekly)
- Total interest estimate over the full loan term
- Extra repayment scenario to estimate interest savings and time saved
How mortgage repayments are calculated
For principal-and-interest home loans, each repayment includes two parts:
- Interest charged on the outstanding balance
- Principal reduction, which gradually pays down your loan
In the early years, a larger share of each repayment goes to interest. Over time, more goes toward principal as your balance falls.
Simple example
Suppose you borrow $600,000 over 30 years at 6.29% p.a. With monthly repayments, your repayment may be around the mid-$3,000 range per month. Adding even a modest extra repayment each month can significantly cut total interest across the life of the loan.
Key factors that change your repayment
1) Interest rate
A small rate change can make a noticeable difference. For large loan balances, even a 0.25% rise can add meaningful monthly cost.
2) Loan term
Longer terms reduce each repayment amount but usually increase total interest paid. Shorter terms raise repayments but reduce total cost over time.
3) Repayment frequency
Weekly and fortnightly schedules may align better with income cycles and can improve repayment discipline.
4) Extra repayments
Consistent additional repayments can save years off your loan and reduce interest substantially. This is one of the most effective repayment strategies when your budget allows.
Common planning mistakes to avoid
- Budgeting only for current interest rates and not stress-testing for higher rates
- Ignoring other ownership costs like council rates, insurance, and maintenance
- Assuming lender fees are negligible over long periods
- Forgetting to review the loan after fixed periods end
Tips to use this calculator effectively
- Run multiple scenarios with different rates (for example +0.5% and +1.0%)
- Test different deposit and borrowing amounts before making offers
- Compare standard repayment with and without extra repayments
- Recalculate whenever your income, expenses, or rates change
