Frequently asked questions
How are home loan repayments calculated?
Various factors influence home loan repayments. This includes the loan amount, the loan term (e.g. 20 years), whether a fixed or variable interest rate applies and whether you're making principal and interest or interest-only payments. It's important to remember that interest rates are subject to change, which will impact the repayment amount on a home loan with a variable interest rate.
How to calculate home loan interest?
There are two parts to your mortgage repayment – the principal and the interest. This means you’re paying back the money you’ve borrowed (the principal) while also paying interest. Generally, your lender will spread the interest charges over time. Early in your loan term, a smaller proportion of your repayment will be reducing the loan principal.
At Suncorp Bank, home loan interest is calculated daily and charged on your monthly repayment due date. We multiply the remaining balance on your loan by your interest rate and divide it by 365 to determine daily interest. Use the calculator above to determine how much interest you’ll pay on your loan over time.
Can I make extra repayments and pay off my home loan sooner?
By making extra repayments, you can pay off your mortgage sooner. If you have a fixed home loan, you’ll generally only be allowed to make extra repayments up to a certain amount. If you have a variable rate home loan, the additional repayments you can make are usually unlimited.
An offset account may also help to reduce your total repayment cost. An offset account is a bank account that is linked to your home loan. The money in it 'offsets' your home loan balance, reducing the total interest you need to pay.
How can I make changes to my current home loan repayments?
If you have a variable rate home loan, you can generally make changes to your repayments. For example, many lenders will enable you to:
- change the amount you pay in each repayment (subject to the minimum loan repayment amount)
- make extra repayments to pay off your loan faster
- change the frequency of your repayments (e.g. weekly, fortnightly or monthly)
- switch between principal and interest or interest-only repayments.
For more information, read our article, “Understanding home loan repayment periods”.
If you’ve set up a recurring payment to a home loan from your Suncorp Bank account, you can update it at any time. Find out more about changing your repayments.

^ Home Loan Repayments
Home loan repayments and total interest paid are calculated using the information selected and are an indicative estimate only that does not take into account your personal circumstances at the time of using the calculator. The interest and repayments may vary due to;
- The date of which your monthly payment is due
- Loan Balance
- Interest Rate – which may fluctuate
- Repayment Type – Principal & Interest or Interest Only
- Purpose – Investment or Owner Occupied
- Term of the loan, and
- Frequency of payments.
The calculator is not intended to be your sole source of information when making a financial decision. Consider getting advice from a licensed finance professional, if you need it.
Using this calculator does not guarantee you will be eligible for a loan. You will need to satisfy Suncorp Bank’s lending criteria.
All calculations assume that interest rates remain unchanged over the life of the loan, any change to the above factors will result in a change to repayment amounts.
Calculations are not a loan approval. Applications are subject to credit approval, satisfactory security and minimum deposit requirements. Conditions apply to all loan options. Full terms and conditions will be set out in our loan offer, if an offer is made.
No fees or charges have been factored into the above calculation. Please refer to Lending Fees and Charges for all applicable fees.
Interest Only repayments are subject to credit approval. Given you pay Interest Only for a set term, your loan balance will remain the same while your term is reducing, meaning at the end of the term your repayments will be higher and you may pay more interest over the term of the loan.
Please contact us on 1300 792 809 or visit your local branch and ask to speak to a lender to discuss a repayment option that will suit your personal circumstances.
