How is refinancing calculated?

To calculate whether refinancing is worth it first calculate your monthly savings. To do this, compare the monthly payment of your current lender to the monthly payment of the new loan. Just use our refinance calculator to determine your monthly savings if you refinanced with Tiimely Home.

Next, calculate what it costs to refinance your home loan. These are all the fees it costs to refinance. They include ‘closing your old loan fees’ (such as discharge fees, break fees for fixed home loans etc) + ‘opening your new loan fees’ (government fees, third party fees).

Then divide the monthly savings by your total closing costs to figure out how many months it takes to break even.

Legal things about our rates
Our home loans are subject to credit criteria and eligibility requirements. Home loan interest rates are for new customers only and can change. Our comparison rates are based on a $150,000 loan amount over a 25 year term. They factor in fees associated with applying for the loan; ongoing fees and fees associated with leaving the loan. Our fixed loans roll to a variable principal and interest rate at the end of the fixed term. If the interest only period is not specified, the comparison rate is calculated on a one year period.

WARNING: The comparison rates are true only for the examples given and may not include all fees and charges. Different terms, fees or other loan amounts might result in a different comparison rate.
