The CBA Home Loan Repayment formula calculates the fixed monthly payment required to repay a home loan over a specified term. This formula is standard for most fixed-rate home loans and provides an accurate estimate of monthly repayments.
The calculator uses the standard loan repayment formula:
Where:
Explanation: The formula accounts for compound interest over the life of the loan, calculating a fixed payment that covers both principal and interest each month.
Details: Accurate repayment calculation helps borrowers understand their financial commitments, compare loan options, and budget effectively for home ownership.
Tips: Enter the principal amount in AUD, annual interest rate (CBA's typical rate is 6.24%), and loan term in years. All values must be positive numbers.
Q1: What is the typical interest rate for CBA home loans?
A: As of 2023, CBA's standard variable rate is typically around 6.24% p.a., but this can vary based on market conditions and individual circumstances.
Q2: Does this include other loan fees?
A: No, this calculation only includes principal and interest. Additional fees like establishment fees, LMI, or account fees are not included.
Q3: How does an offset account affect repayments?
A: An offset account reduces the interest payable but doesn't change the monthly repayment amount unless you request a repayment recalculation.
Q4: Can I change my repayment frequency?
A: Yes, CBA offers weekly, fortnightly or monthly repayments, but this calculator assumes monthly payments for simplicity.
Q5: What if I make extra repayments?
A: Extra repayments reduce the principal faster and can shorten the loan term, but this calculator shows the standard repayment schedule.
