Questions

How are mortgage repayments calculated?

A principal and interest repayment is the amount that pays the loan off exactly by the end of the term. It uses the standard loan formula, the same one every bank calculator uses. Every page here uses that sum.

Why does the same loan cost different people different amounts?

Mostly the rate. On this panel the lowest and highest comparison rates are more than a full point apart. On a $600,000 loan that is a few hundred dollars a month. The term matters next. 25 years costs more a month than 30, and much less in total.

Are these the rates I would get?

No. They are the comparison rates from the panel on the date shown, one product per lender, and they are a guide. The rate a lender offers you depends on your deposit, your income, the loan size and the product. A broker at 1st Street can tell you which lenders would take you at the lower rates.
