Base criteria of: a $400,000 loan amount, variable, fixed, principal and interest (P&I) home loans with an LVR (loan-to-value) ratio of at least 80%. However, the ‘Compare Home Loans’ table allows for calculations to made on variables as selected and input by the user. All products will list the LVR with the product and rate which are clearly published on the Product Provider’s web site. Monthly repayments, once the base criteria are altered by the user, will be based on the selected products’ advertised rates and determined by the loan amount, repayment type, loan term and LVR as input by the user/you. Rates correct as of October 28, 2021. View disclaimer.
Interest rate vs comparison rate
A loan’s comparison rate can help provide a better indication of the cost of a loan by taking both the interest rate and fees into account.
That’s why the comparison rate is usually higher than the advertised interest rate.
By law, each lender is required to display the comparison rate of a home loan next to the advertised interest rate.
How is the comparison rate calculated?
Not all home loans are the same, which is why the comparison rate isn’t always a perfect way of comparing home loans. A home loan comparison rate is uniformly calculated based on an assumed loan amount of $150,000 with a loan term of 25 years, and then factors in the fees the loan has stretched over that time.
Because of these assumptions, the comparison rate should be taken with a pinch of salt. Data from 2019 found the median value of a dwelling in Australia was $516,713 - much more than $150,000 - and home loans can often last for 30 years plus.
Despite its flaws, however, the comparison rate can make it a lot easier for you to compare home loans on costs.
Our home loan comparison rate calculator can help you see how comparison rates are calculated to reflect a loan’s costs.
Comparison rate calculator
To use our comparison rate calculator, enter the following information:
- The loan amount
- The loan term
- The fixed interest rate and the fixed term (if applicable)
- The ongoing interest rate (not introductory or fixed)
- Monthly fees
- Upfront fees
- A discharge fee (if applicable)
By entering all of this, Savings.com.au’s home loan comparison rate calculator can estimate a loan’s comparison rate, repayments, total fees payable, total interest payable, and the total cost.
