Offset Checker

People discussing their first home buyers loan | First Home Buyer Loan - First Home Buyers Mortgage Broker Landing Page Featured Image

Is your offset account actually saving you interest?

Use one month of home loan figures to estimate your offset benefit and check whether the interest charged looks consistent with your offset being linked.

What you will need:

  1. Loan balance for the statement period
  2. Interest charged for that month
  3. Annual interest rate
  4. Approximate average offset balance

Enter your loan details

Use figures covering the same calendar month.

Your estimate will appear here

We will compare the interest charged with estimated interest both with and without your offset balance.

Why the result is an estimate

What you will need
Most lenders calculate interest daily. Changes to the loan or offset balance during the month affect the final charge.
Rates can change
A rate change part-way through the month means one annual rate will not perfectly reproduce the lender’s figure.
Statements differ
Posting dates, leap years, split loans, partial offsets and fees can change the result.

Not sure your offset is linked?

Send us your loan statement and we can help you review the setup with your lender.

Results depend on the accuracy of the information entered and do not account for every lender’s calculation method, daily balance movement, rate changes, fees, transaction timing, partial offsets or loan-specific terms. Check your loan and offset account details with your lender or broker.
