During your research into your financial situation, you may have clicked on our calculator section – and been overwhelmed with the number of different types available! What do they all mean and what are they used for?! How much can I borrow for a home loan? How much will my stamp duty cost in Tasmania?
Let us help you break it down.
Please note our calculators provide estimates and should be used as a guide only. They should not be used as a guarantee.
Whether you’re considering a home loan, personal loan, car loan, equipment loan or business loan – use our Loan Repayment Calculator to understand how much you can borrow and calculate your repayments. It’s a simple, easy-to-use tool that gives you an overview of what you can expect from your financial obligations. You’ll just need to enter the loan amount, interest rate, loan term and repayment frequency. If you also know the loan fees – you can enter them too!
You’ve heard that you can save time and interest by making extra payments on your loan. Let our Extra Repayment Calculator help you to figure it out. Even small repayments can make a difference, so see how much you can save.

Some home loans have an offset account option. Offsets allow you to link an everyday savings account to your home loan – and the balance of the offset account counts towards your mortgage. If you want to figure out how much time and interest you can save with an offset account, use our Home Loan Offset Calculator.
Psst – if you want information about offset accounts, check out this blog post!
If you have an interest-only home loan, work out your repayments before and after the interest-only period of your mortgage by using our Interest Only Mortgage Calculator.

Stamp duty (aka land transfer duty in Victoria) can be a major cost for home buyers. Figure out the estimated stamp duty on your property purchase by using our Stamp Duty Calculator, and be well equipped with all the financial information before you sign that contract.
Adding interest onto the principal of a loan or deposit and then calculating interest on the new principal amount is known as compounding interest.
