Want to know how much you can afford to borrow? Need to work out how much your regular mortgage repayments will be? Want to know how much interest you will be paying on your home loan? Use a home loan calculator to work out the nitty gritty financial details before entering into a home loan.

Home loan repayments are the amounts of money a person agrees to pay their financial institution to repay a home loan. Every person’s home loan repayments will be different as it depends on the total loan amount, the interest rate charged and the loan term. The loan repayments are made frequently over the term of the loan. Some people may make additional payments to reduce the term of their loan and save on interest.
