How home loan interest is calculated

Interest is calculated on your outstanding loan balance at the end of each day and charged to your account every month. The outstanding loan balance is multiplied by your interest rate and then divided by 365 days.
 

Ways to reduce the amount of home loan interest you pay

Our team may be able to assist you with reducing the interest you pay over the life of the loan.

Since you settled your home loan, your circumstances may have changed so you may want to check that your home loan continues to meet your needs. Options to reduce the amount of home loan interest you are paying may include:

You may also want to use our Extra Repayment Calculator to work out how much faster you could pay off your loan and how much interest you might save.

How to request a variable rate review

We'll review the request and provide the outcome via a notification in Macquarie Mobile Banking app or Macquarie Online, generally within 3 days. 

Note this process is for variable rate loans only. If you are looking to fix your home loan, please visit Fixing your home loan rate.

What happens when your interest rate changes

When an interest rate changes on your home loan account, this will be displayed on your home loan statement and in your transaction history. We’ll also publish it in The Australian newspaper.
 
Your principal and interest repayments will be recalculated. We may email or send you a letter with your new repayment amount before it becomes due.
 
For repayments that are direct debited, you’re not required to do anything. We’ll automatically adjust your direct debit amount to cover your new repayment amount. If your repayments are made by salary credit or funds transfer, you’ll need to update your payment amount.

If you have a home loan account with a BSB starting with 182 and you’re making additional repayments by direct debit we will continue to collect this amount in addition to your minimum contractual repayment amount. 
 
If you have a Home Loan account with a BSB starting with 183 and you’re making more than the minimum required repayment, if the extra amount you are paying covers any increase in the interest rate, your direct debit repayments will not change. 

For more information, see changes to your interest rate.

*We don't charge fees for card purchases or transactions made or processed outside of Australia but others, such as the banks of international merchants, might.
