Frequently Asked Questions

Home loan repayments are typically calculated daily and paid monthly, based on the interest rate for the chosen term for the interest portion of your repayment. For your principal repayment, your initial borrowing rate is divided by the months or fortnights in your loan term. These two amounts are then added and repayed on your chosen schedule. Bluestone’s repayment calculator is only a guide, particularly because we assume your interest rate will remain fixed through the whole term of the mortgage, which is often not the case in Australia.

We have a range of resources to help you understand your mortgages options in our insights section. We’re also working on a few more useful calculators for you in the background.

At the moment, no, our calculator does not consider the impact of an offset account on interest accrued. So if you have an offset, assume you’ll be a little bit quicker to pay off your mortgage than the projections we share in the graph. For accurate repayment insights that consider strategies like paying lump sums and utilising an offset account, we recommend speaking to your broker or seeking professional financial advice.
