How do I request a recalculation of my repayments?

If you have made extra home loan repayments, you can request a recalculation of your principal and interest repayments. 

For home loans with a BSB starting 182, your repayment amount is based on the limit of your home loan account. You can reduce your minimum monthly repayments however the only way to do this is to reduce your limit permanently.

You’ll need to have redraw funds available in your home loan account and any redraw used for the limit reduction will no longer be accessible. You’ll need to make an application if you’d like to increase the limit again.  

To request the permanent limit reduction, please get in touch with a Macquarie consultant using live chat.

For home loans with a BSB starting 183, if you’ve made a lump sum deposit, or you’ve been making extra repayments over a period of time and the repayment hasn’t already been recalculated, you can request your principal and interest repayments to be recalculated.  

You can check your transaction history online to see the last time your repayments were recalculated. 

To request a recalculation of your repayments, please get in touch with a Macquarie consultant using live chat.
