📊 About the calculator
How does the Rate Challenge calculator work?
It compares your entered rate to a benchmark for similar loans at your LVR and rate type, then shows monthly repayments and estimated savings for keeping your remaining term or restarting a 30-year term. You’ll also see a simple rating and a small gauge of where your rate sits.
Does it use real rates?
It uses a current benchmark snapshot shown on the results panel under Rates current at.
Are results personalised?
Yes. It uses your balance, current rate, property value (for LVR), start MM/YYYY, original term, postcode, occupancy, repayment type and rate type. If you add your current repayment, we compare against that too.
Will it hit my credit score?
No — using the calculator doesn’t trigger a credit check.
How accurate are savings?
Indicative only. Final pricing requires a full application, assessment and lender approval.
