What are my customer’s principal and interest repayments calculation based on?

The repayment amount outlined in your customer’s letter of offer, and subsequent post-settlement variation confirmation letters, is calculated based on the following:

  1. Loan limit
  2. Remaining loan term or length of the loan
  3. Number of repayments
  4. Interest rate.

For more information on how repayments are calculated, see the ‘Repayment calculation’ section within our Home Loans Product Guide.

What does the repayment amount consist of for principal and interest loans?

If the loan is set up with principal and interest repayments, the repayment amount consists of paying both a principal and an interest component, with the proportion of principal and interest changing over the term of the loan.

At the beginning of the loan term, the repayment amount will typically have more interest than principal. Towards the end of the loan term, the repayment amount will have more principal than interest.
