Calculator information
The Loan Repayments Calculator gives you a general indication of the amount of your minimum loan repayments each fortnight/month based on your selected repayment options.
The minimum loan repayment amount can vary depending on a range of factors including:
- the product selected;
- the loan purpose (ie. whether the loan is an owner occupier or investment loan);
- the loan amount;
- the loan-to-value ratio (or LVR);
- the repayment type (either principal and interest, or interest only);
- the repayment frequency (either fortnightly or monthly); and
- the loan term.
Length of month
All months are assumed to be of equal length. In reality, many loans accrue interest on a daily basis which means monthly interest charges may vary depending on the number of days in the particular month.
Number of weeks and fortnights in a year
One year is assumed to contain exactly 52 weeks or 26 fortnights. This implicitly assumes that a year has 364 days rather than the actual 365 or 366.
Interest Rate
The interest rate used in this calculation is the ING Mortgage Simplifier Rate (which is a variable interest rate) after applying any discount to that rate based on your selected repayment options. The rate may change at any time without notice.
The interest rate used in this calculation is the ING Orange Advantage Rate (which is a variable interest rate) after applying any discount to that rate based on your selected repayment options. The rate may change at any time without notice. In calculating the minimum repayment amount, we have not taken into account any funds that you may have in any offset account linked to the Orange Advantage home loan.
The interest rate used in this calculation is the applicable ING Fixed Rate for the period of time selected only (eg. 3 year Fixed Rate) for an owner occupier loan. It includes a 0.10% p.a. discount on the relevant Fixed Rate because you've split your home loan by combining our Fixed Rate Home Loan with an Orange Advantage. In practice, at the end of the fixed interest period, your interest rate will change based on the new variable rate that you receive when you roll to a Mortgage Simplifier product.
The interest rate used in this calculation is the applicable ING Fixed Rate for the period of time selected only (eg. 3 year Fixed Rate) for an investment loan. In practice, at the end of the fixed interest period, your interest rate will change based on the new variable rate that you receive when you roll to a Mortgage Simplifier product.
Loan-to-value ratio (LVR)
We have assumed that the purchase price for the property is equal to our valuation of the property. This way, a 20% deposit would equate to an LVR of 80%.
Interest only loans
Where you have selected interest only repayments, we have calculated the minimum repayment amount on the assumption that the interest only repayments would apply for the entire term of the loan. In practice this would not be the case as our maximum interest only period is between 5 years (for owner occupiers) and 10 years (for investors) vs a standard loan term of 30 years. After the interest only period ends, you would be required to make principal and interest repayments for the remainder of the term or one final lump sum repayment so your balance is paid in full.

You can also use another Loan Repayments Calculator provided by InfoChoice available under the 'Tools & calculators' tab on this webpage. This calculator can also provide you with an indication of the minimum repayment amounts based on the information provided. It also includes a yearly breakdown of the interest paid, the principal balance and the total amount owing. Please check out the assumptions and qualifications for this calculator too.
