How to calculate refinance savings in Australia

Before refinancing, it’s vital to know your true savings potential. This means looking beyond the rate and including all costs and total interest over the loan term. Include:

  • Interest rate changes: Even a 0.25% drop can save thousands.

  • Fees: Account for exit, application, and valuation fees.

  • Loan term: Extending your term may reduce payments but increase total interest.

With HeyNest, you can connect to an independent broker who compares multiple lenders and gives you an accurate, unbiased savings estimate.

When to estimate mortgage refinance

Consider refinancing when your financial situation or market conditions improve. Key times include:

  • Rate changes: RBA shifts or unpassed savings from your lender.

  • Higher property value: Improved LVR may qualify you for better rates.

  • Income increase: New job or pay rise boosts borrowing power.

  • End of fixed term: Avoid reverting to a costly standard variable rate.
