Compare one or more existing loans against indicative new loan options, across one or more properties. Every figure is editable. Comparisons are indicative only — your broker will verify any actual proposal. No specific lender or product is shown.
Switching could save about
Across all 1 loan on 1 property, switching to each loan's best new loan option would lower repayments by approx. $155 each month. The upfront switching costs (~$700) pay for themselves in approx. 5 months of saving.
1 loan save and 0 cost more on a monthly basis — the headline above is the net position. Every figure here is editable; this is indicative only, pre-tax, and not a recommendation.

The numbers behind it
New here? What this is telling you
In plain English: This compares the total interest paid if the loans stay as they are (navy) against the total interest paid if each loan switched to its best new option (bronze), added up across every loan over the 5-year comparison period.
How to read it
- Current loans — interest paid if nothing changes.
- Best new options — interest paid after switching each loan to its best option.
Why it's here: A wider gap between the two lines over time means switching keeps more interest in the client's pocket. Lines close together mean the switch makes little difference on interest.
Over 5 years, switching to the best options would pay approx. $12,422 LESS in interest across all loans.

How this is modelled
- Each loan is simulated month-by-month over the comparison period. P&I repayments use standard amortisation; interest-only repayments cover interest only until the IO period ends, then switch to P&I on the remaining balance and term.
- An offset balance reduces the interest charged each month (interest accrues on the balance minus the offset) but does not change the contractual repayment.
- A revert rate, if set, applies the current rate until the revert point, then the revert rate for the rest of the comparison; the repayment is recomputed at that point.
- New loan options are compared on the same current balance. The "best" option per loan is the one with the greatest interest saving over the comparison period. Switching fees are counted once per property; break-even = switching fees ÷ monthly saving.
