Calculating how long to pay off your mortgage

Savings.com.au’s How Long To Repay My Mortgage calculator can help you estimate you how long it could take you to pay off your mortgage based on your regular repayments and interest rate. For example, a $350,000 loan with $2,000 monthly repayments at a 3.80% p.a. interest rate will take 21 years and eight months to repay, costing over $161,000 in interest.

But if you upped those repayments to $2,500 per month, that loan term will take just 15 and a half years to repay, and will cost $113,000 in interest. That’s six years earlier and almost $50,000 less in interest costs.

So use our mortgage repayment calculator now to work out how much time and money you can save by upping those regular repayments.

How long will it take to pay off my home loan?

A home loan is one of the most expensive purchases you’ll ever make, and that’s not just because of the purchase price of the home itself. Home loans can also be as long as 30 years, sometimes longer, which is decades of interest that can be accrued.

Home loans can be shorter though, and paying more than the minimum repayments can help you pay it off sooner. Not to mention, a shorter home loan will also generally cost less in interest over time. Find out more about the typical length of a home loan and tips to pay yours off quicker.
