Borrowing Capacity
The calculations provided are estimates only and based upon the information entered into the calculator by the user. The calculations do not include upfront or continuing credit fees and charges. The resulting calculations do not constitute a loan application or variation to an existing Suncorp Bank facility, loan offer or loan approval. An estimated repayment for your existing Residential Investment or Home Loan has been calculated using an interest rate of 7.2% p.a. over 360 months on Principal and Interest repayments. An estimated repayment for your proposed Home Loan has been calculated using an interest rate of 7.2% over your proposed loan term on Principal and Interest repayments.
Home Loan Repayments
Saved Variable Rate, Fixed Rate and Comparison Rate results from the repayment calculator are available at the time of calculation only, subject to change, and may no longer be available. Please use the Home Loan Repayment Calculator or view Home Home Loan Interest Rates for current rates.
Estimated repayment and total interest paid amounts are calculated using the information you have provided. Please note that the amounts displaying are indicative only and do not represent the Bank making an offer of credit or providing loan approval. All calculations assume that interest rates remain unchanged over the life of the loan. The product interest rates used in this calculator are current and subject to change. Estimated repayments at end of fixed rate period and/or interest only period are based on current variable principal and interest rates and are subject to change. Any change to interest rates will result in a change to repayment amounts. Each calendar year has the following periods – 12 months, 26 fortnights and 52 weeks. No fees or charges have been factored into the above calculation. Please refer to Lending Fees and Charges for all applicable fees.
Suggested weekly and fortnightly repayment amounts are calculated respectively as one quarter or one half of the monthly repayment amount and may result in a reduced term. Please contact us on 13 11 75 to discuss the best option for your weekly or fortnightly repayment amounts. Interest only repayments subject to credit approval. Before choosing an interest-only repayment option, it's important you understand the potential risks associated with this product feature. As the name suggests, interest-only repayments means you'll repay the interest charges but you are not required to repay the principal during the interest-only period. Since repayments to reduce the principal are not being made during the interest-only period, the full loan amount will still be due at the end of the interest-only period. You will pay more in interest than if you made principal and interest repayments.
Loan to Value Ratio (LVR) limits are inclusive of Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI) where applicable. A repayment type of interest only is available on loans with an LVR limit < 90%. At the expiry of the interest only period, the rate will convert to the applicable P&I interest rate plus or minus any applicable margins specified in your credit contract.
# Each comparison rate is based on $150,000 over 25 years. WARNING: These comparison rates apply only to the example or examples given. Different amounts and terms will result in different comparison rates. Costs such as redraw fees or early repayment fees, and cost savings such as fee waivers, are not included in the comparison rate but may influence the cost of the loan. Comparison rates for Interest Only Fixed Rate home loans are based on an initial Interest Only period equal in length to the fixed. Comparison rates for Interest Only Variable home loans are based on an initial 5 year Interest Only period.
