Repayment frequency guide

How often you repay changes how much interest you pay. Interest is usually worked out daily, so paying more often can help.

Weekly

52 repayments a year

Smaller, regular amounts that line up well with a weekly pay cycle and reduce your balance quickly.

Fortnightly

26 repayments a year

A popular choice that matches most pay cycles. Paying half your monthly amount each fortnight adds up to an extra month's repayment each year.

Monthly

12 repayments a year

One repayment a month. Easy to budget for, but your balance comes down a little slower.

Things to keep in mind

Rates can change

Variable rates move over time, so your repayments can go up or down. A fixed rate locks them in for a set period.

Fees and charges

Application fees, ongoing fees and government costs are not included here, but they affect the true cost of a loan.

Interest only periods

Interest only lowers your repayments for a while, but you pay more interest overall and repayments rise when the period ends.

This calculator is general information only and does not take into account your objectives, financial situation or needs. Results are estimates, not a quote or loan approval. They assume the interest rate stays the same for the whole term and do not include fees or charges. Interest only loans usually revert to principal and interest after the interest only period. Your actual repayments will depend on the lender and your situation. Ideal Loans, Credit Representative Number 397862 of Australian Credit Licence 389087.
