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.
