Just the interest, monthly.

Plug in the loan size and rate. Get the required monthly interest and your effective rate after any variance you want to model.

The interest-only calculator — left column shows inputs (home value, loan amount, interest rate, variance); right column shows the monthly summary with the effective interest rate and required monthly interest payment.

When this is useful.

Three common scenarios where the headline number is just the interest, not the principal-and-interest payment.

  • Investment loans.

    Most Australian investment property loans are structured interest-only — the interest is deductible against rental income, principal repayments aren't. Sanity-check what a new investment loan would cost you each month.

  • Bridging finance.

    You're between properties and carrying two loans. Bridging loans usually run interest-only — see what the monthly cost looks like before you commit.

  • An interest-only period.

    Most loans let you switch to interest-only for a stretch — common for new investors, between jobs, or after a renovation drained the offset. Work out the monthly payment before you ring the bank.
