What is an offset account?

A mortgage offset account is a bank account linked to your home loan - money put in there can be fully or partially 'offset' against the balance of your loan, so you only pay interest on the difference.

How can you calculate potential savings from an offset account?

Using an offset account has the potential to save you a lot more than a standard savings account - you can use Savings.com.au's Home Loan Offset Account Calculator to work out just how much you could stand to save.

All you have to do to use our Offset Account Calculator is enter your loan amount, offset balance, interest rate and your regular deposits to see how much time and money an offset account could save you on your home loan.

Savings.com.au's offset account calculations are estimates only; consider speaking to a professional to get dedicated home loan advice.
