Ezy Loans Australia Calculators

Home Loan Offset Calculator

An offset account reduces the balance your interest is calculated on without locking the money away. This calculator shows what your own offset balance is worth in interest saved and years removed from the loan.

Use the home loan offset calculator

Calculator results are estimates only and do not take every fee and charge into account. Interest rates and costs change over time, which affects the true cost of a loan. Results should not be relied on when making a decision about a loan. Please discuss your individual circumstances with us before acting.

How to use it

What the home loan offset calculator tells you

What it shows

Interest saved, revised loan term, and the effective return your offset balance is earning.

What you need

Loan balance, interest rate, term, and your average offset account balance.

What to do next

We can compare lenders on offset account fees, since some charge a package fee that outweighs the benefit on smaller balances.

Three things worth testing

  • Have your salary paid directly into the offset account.
  • A partial offset only credits a portion of the balance. Confirm yours is one hundred per cent.
  • Weigh any annual package fee against the interest you actually save.
Questions

Frequently asked questions

Is an offset account better than redraw?
Offset keeps the money as your own savings and is generally more flexible. Redraw returns money you have already paid into the loan and can be restricted by the lender.
Does an offset account cost extra?
Often it sits inside a package with an annual fee. On small balances that fee can exceed the interest saved.
