How is my home loan interest calculated?

Interest is calculated on your outstanding loan balance at the end of each day and charged to your account every month. 

Your interest rate is divided by 365 days, and then multipled by the outstanding loan balance.     

Example 1: How daily interest is calculated

If your account balance is $140,080 at the end of the day and your interest rate is 5.50% p.a. then the daily interest will be: 5.50% ÷ 365 × $140,080 = $21.11.

 

Example 2: How daily interest is calculated with a linked offset account

If your loan account balance is $140,080 and your offset account balance is $50,000 at the end of the day, and your interest rate is 5.50% p.a. then the daily interest will be: 5.50% ÷ 365 × ($140,080 - $50,000) = $13.57.
