Finder calculators can help you estimate how much you’re able to borrow for a home loan, calculate how much interest you'll earn from a savings account and compare different personal loan options. You can also learn how much you may be able to save using features like offset accounts and from paying your mortgage fortnightly instead of monthly. All of these calculators are free and easy to use.
Please note that these calculators and tools provide estimates for your general information. They do not represent quotes, and the success of your home loan or credit application isn't guaranteed based on the results of these calculators.

Frequently asked questions
Is the calculator a guarantee that the lender will approve this amount?
No, the calculator only shows you an indication based on the figures you’ve provided. The lender or financial institution still has the final decision.
I don’t know how much my lender’s mortgage insurance (LMI) is, what do I do?
In these cases, you’ll need to call your lender up and ask for a quote. It’s worth noting that LMI is calculated according to the amount you borrow, the overall loan size, the amount of your deposit and who the insurer is. It can range from a few thousand dollars to tens of thousands of dollars, however, you may be able to add the cost of LMI to your home loan.
How accurate are these calculators?
These calculators have been developed with sound mathematics to produce the results based on the information you’ve provided. The more accurate the fields you enter, the more accurate the figures.
I have a question about interest rates and fees. Who is the best person to ask?
For questions to do with interest rates and fees on an existing loan, it's best to talk to your financial institution directly. However, if you've got more broad questions about which home loan is right for you, or which is the best option for you, you may be better off talking to a mortgage broker. They can chat to you about your specific situation and help you find a home loan and interest rate that suits you best.

Important information about this website
finder.com.au is one of Australia's leading comparison websites. We compare from a wide set of banks, insurers and product issuers. We value our editorial independence and follow editorial guidelines.
finder.com.au has access to track details from the product issuers listed on our sites. Although we provide information on the products offered by a wide range of issuers, we don't cover every available product or service.
Please note that the information published on our site should not be construed as personal advice and does not consider your personal needs and circumstances. While our site will provide you with factual information and general advice to help you make better decisions, it isn't a substitute for professional advice. You should consider whether the products or services featured on our site are appropriate for your needs. If you're unsure about anything, seek professional advice before you apply for any product or commit to any plan and read any disclosure documents (such as any Target Market Determination (TMD) and/or Product Disclosure Statement (PDS)) issued by the provider before making a decision.
Products marked as 'Promoted' or 'Advertisement' are prominently displayed either as a result of a commercial advertising arrangement or to highlight a particular product, provider or feature. Finder may receive remuneration from the Provider if you click on the related link, purchase or enquire about the product. Finder's decision to show a 'promoted' product is neither a recommendation that the product is appropriate for you nor an indication that the product is the best in its category. We encourage you to use the tools and information we provide to compare your options.
Where our site links to particular products or displays 'Go to site' buttons, we may receive a commission, referral fee or payment when you click on those buttons or apply for a product. You can learn more about how we make money.
When products are grouped in a table or list, the order in which they are initially sorted may be influenced by a range of factors including price, fees and discounts; commercial partnerships; product features; and brand popularity. We provide tools so you can sort and filter these lists to highlight features that matter to you.
We try to take an open and transparent approach and provide a broad-based comparison service. However, you should be aware that while we are an independently owned service, our comparison service does not include all providers or all products available in the market.
Some product issuers may provide products or offer services through multiple brands, associated companies or different labelling arrangements. This can make it difficult for consumers to compare alternatives or identify the companies behind the products. However, we aim to provide information to enable consumers to understand these issues.
Providing or obtaining an estimated insurance quote through us does not guarantee you can get the insurance. Acceptance by insurance companies is based on things like occupation, health and lifestyle. By providing you with the ability to apply for a credit card or loan, we are not guaranteeing that your application will be approved. Your application for credit products is subject to the Provider's terms and conditions as well as their application and lending criteria.
