Each 0.5% rise in the rate adds roughly $30 to $35 a month for every $100,000 borrowed. Paying half the monthly amount every fortnight adds up to one extra monthly repayment a year.
Compare fortnightly with monthly repayments and see how many years you save.
See how much interest and time extra repayments save on your mortgage.
Repayments are set so the loan and all its interest are paid off by the end of the term. Interest is charged on the balance each month, so early repayments are mostly interest and later ones mostly principal.
Paying exactly the fortnightly equivalent makes little difference. Paying half your monthly repayment every fortnight does: there are 26 fortnights a year, so you pay one extra month a year and finish the loan years earlier.
Lenders Mortgage Insurance protects the bank, not you. It's usually charged when you borrow more than 80% of the property's value. Government schemes such as the Home Guarantee Scheme can let eligible buyers avoid it.
Enter an amount in 'Extra repayment' to see it. On a $600,000 loan at 6% over 30 years, an extra $500 a month saves well over $200,000 in interest.
