How to use our Interest Only Home Loan calculator

Want to customise mortgage repayments to fit your income? Use the Interest-Only Home Loan calculator to get a clear picture of the monthly amounts payable on an interest-only and principal and interest loan, then decide which works best for you. The calculator is really easy to use.

Simply enter the following information to find your monthly payments on each loan type:

  • Loan Amount. The principal amount you wish to borrow.

  • Interest Rate. The rate used by the lender to calculate how much you’ll pay on your outstanding loan.

  • Loan Term. The length of time within which you can repay the entire loan amount.

  • Interest-only Period: The length of time within which you can repay the interest charges only, after which you’ll need to repay any remaining interest and principal amounts.

What’s the difference between Interest Only and Principal & Interest?

The difference between an interest-only and principal and interest loan depends on what the repayments go towards. Interest-only loans involve initially repaying only the interest on the loan amount. This is different to other standard home loans where repayments cover both interest and principal from the start of the loan.

What is the benefit of an Interest Only home loan?

Arguably, the biggest benefit of an interest-only loan is that the repayments are lower during the interest-only repayment period. This is helpful when you need extra cash-flow for a short period of time, and is also a popular option amongst investors.
