All calculations are estimates only; they are not guarantees, pre-qualifications or pre-approvals for borrowing. All results are based solely upon the data entered into the calculator.
It is assumed that data entered into the calculator, including interest rates, do not change for the lifetime of the loan - unless specified.
The Present Value provided by this calculator is displayed as the amount labelled 'Loan amount'.
At the end of the interest-only period, the rate may change. For this calculation, rate switches to the current rate.
The current rate is today’s average big 4 owner occupier advertised discounted variable rate (LVR 80%), unless you have inserted your own rate.
Interest is calculated by compounding on the same frequency as the repayment selected, i.e. weekly, fortnightly or monthly.

Months are assumed to be of equal length. However, given some months are longer than others, interest charged may vary depending upon the month.
One year is assumed to contain exactly 52 weeks or 26 fortnights. Thus each year has 364 days.
The calculator uses the unrounded repayment to derive the home loan summary line graph and repayment schedule. However, institutions may round repayments to the nearest cent.
Your final mortgage repayments or borrowing amount will depend on your lender’s eligibility criteria among other factors.
Calculator does not include the cost of fees or other extra charges.
Calculator does not account for changes to interest rates over time.
This calculator is for information purposes only. Any advice is general and has not taken into account your personal circumstances. Consider whether you need financial advice from a qualified adviser.
After the interest only term ends, your repayments will change based on the current* interest rate. This rate is subject to change. Read our full disclaimer.

Additionally, Macquarie Bank home loans are available with a variety of interest rate and repayment options, including:

Some Macquarie Bank mortgages include an offset account, which can let you use your savings to help reduce your interest charges.

Macquarie Bank home loan rates

Macquarie Bank home loan interest rates tend to be moderately low to moderately high, depending on the amount being borrowed and the Loan to Value Ratio or LVR.

Typically, owner occupiers with smaller loans who can make a deposit of 20 per cent or more can secure some of the lowest interest rates.

At the other end of the spectrum, investors borrowing a significant amount with a low deposit are often charged some of the highest interest rates.

Borrowers can choose between a variable-rate home loan with Macquarie Bank, which may rise or fall over time, or a fixed-rate home loan, with an interest rate that will stay the same for up to 5 years, for simpler budgeting.

Macquarie Bank’s upfront fees for home loans tend to be very low, while ongoing fees range from very low to high depending on the home loan. Discharge fees may also apply at the end of the loan term.

Macquarie Bank home loans review

Macquarie Bank offers a reasonably wide range of home loans for different borrowers, such as owner-occupiers, investors and those looking to refinance their homes. It’s worth noting, however, that it does not offer low doc home loans.

While it may not necessarily offer the cheapest home loans on the market, Macquarie Bank nonetheless caters to a range of borrowers, and offers flexibility with home loan options such as offset accounts and redraw facilities on some home loans. Macquarie Bank's interest rates and fees are different for these different types of home loans.
