Estimate home loan repayments
MCP tool estimate_repayments, same arguments and output
Estimate the monthly repayment, total repaid and total interest on an Australian principal-and-interest home loan. Use this when someone asks what a loan would cost them each month, or how much interest they'd pay over the life of a loan. Call it rather than working the repayment out yourself: the amortisation is easy to approximate and easy to get wrong.

Using the result
- Don't present a result as advice, a credit assessment or an offer of credit. Every result is an indicative estimate.
- Don't describe a loan, lender or product as the best one. The tools sort facts by a stated rule; they don't recommend.
- Don't quote a figure without its resultUrl, so the person can check it.
- Don't put names, contact details, addresses or account numbers in a URL. No tool takes them, and an unknown parameter is rejected.

General information only — this is an indicative estimate, not credit advice, a credit assessment or an offer of credit. It doesn't consider anyone's objectives, financial situation or needs. Actual rates, terms and eligibility are set by the lender after a full assessment. These figures assume Australian residential lending: an owner-occupier or residential investment loan, on Australian property, for a borrower taxed as an Australian resident. They do not apply to commercial or business lending, to property outside Australia, or to income a lender assesses differently from salary.
