This calculator gives an indicative estimate only, based on the figures you enter. It is a general illustration and does not constitute personalised financial advice or a loan offer. Actual repayments will depend on the lender, loan structure, fees, your individual circumstances, and the rates available at the time of application.

How this calculator works
A few things worth knowing.
Why is the "total interest paid" so much?
Mortgages are long. Even at a moderate interest rate, paying back a typical loan over 30 years means a lot of interest — often more than the original loan amount itself. This is why even small reductions in the rate, or paying off the loan faster, can save tens or hundreds of thousands. Worth a conversation if it surprises you.
What's NOT included in this calculation?
The calculator gives you the principal-and-interest repayment only. It does not include lender establishment or admin fees, property valuation costs, legal fees, insurance, council rates and body corporate fees, or any Low Equity Margin. These are part of the real cost of owning a home and I would factor them in when we run actual numbers for your situation.
Are these numbers what I'll actually be offered?
No — this is an illustration. Real lender offers depend on your income, deposit, employment situation, credit history, the property itself, and the lender's current appetite. That's exactly what I do — work out which lender will give you the best actual offer based on your specific situation, not the textbook one.
What interest rate should I put in?
Use a rate close to what you would realistically expect to be offered. Current advertised rates for owner-occupied home loans in NZ vary by lender, term, and loan-to-value ratio — I can help you use a realistic figure for your situation.
What about a fixed/floating split?
Most home loans in NZ are split between a fixed-rate portion and a floating-rate portion. The right split depends on your circumstances. This calculator uses a single blended rate to keep things simple — if you would like to model a specific split for your situation, that is exactly the kind of conversation worth having.
