This calculator provides general information only and should not be relied on to make a decision about a financial product. You should consider obtaining advice from an appropriately licensed financial services professional before making any financial decisions.
Important information
New repayment is for the repayment type, interest rate, loan balance, and years remaining on loan that has been input. It assumes the interest rate remains the same for the term of the loan. Changes in interest rates, loan balance and loan term will affect the new repayment amount.
The results from this calculator should be used as an indication only.
The outputs are based on a 364 day year; one year is assumed to contain exactly 52 weeks or 26 fortnights. All months and fortnights are assumed to be equal. Given some months are longer than others interest charged will vary depending upon the month.
The calculations do not take into account fees, upfront costs, charges or other amounts that may be charged to your loan (such as monthly or annual service fees). Continuing fees and charges will affect the repayment amount.
The calculator assumes that interest is charged to the loan account at the same frequency as the repayments are made. In practice, there may be differences between the timing of the loan repayments and the timing of the interest charges being added to the loan balance.
The amounts shown are rounded to the nearest dollar.

Refinancing explained
Find the answers to frequently asked questions here.
Refinancing is when you take out a new home loan to replace your existing home loan. This can be with your existing lender or a new one.
Learn more about how to refinance a home loan.
Refinancing can help you save by offering a lower interest rate than you have with your current lender. This means lower minimum repayments and less interest over the life of your loan.
Depending on the features of your current loan, refinancing with Great Southern Bank could also help you save by avoiding monthly or annual fees, utilising a linked offset account to further reduce your interest payments, and by allowing you to make unlimited extra repayments free of charge.
Switching to Great Southern Bank means you can also use The Boost to help pay down your loan faster and further reduce the amount of interest you owe.
If you’re moving to a new home loan provider, you may be required to pay your old one a discharge fee. Similarly, there may be early payout costs if you’re refinancing a fixed rate loan before the end of the fixed term. Additionally, there may be application and/or establishment fees with your new lender, and potentially Lenders’ Mortgage Insurance (LMI) if your loan-to-value ratio (LVR) is more than 80%.
There is no hard and fast rule about when to refinance a home loan. Having said this, it’s clearly a bad idea if the costs involved in doing so outweigh the savings. It is important to thoroughly research the implications for your personal situation before making a decision to refinance.

1 Discounts off the Basic Variable Reference Rate are available to (a) new home loans with a minimum application amount of $100,000; or (b) switching or restructuring of the home loan you already have with us when it includes new borrowing of at least $10,000; and the application is unconditionally approved on or after 22 May 2026. Published interest rates are inclusive of any discounts off the respective Reference Rates. Interest rates and discounts vary based on the loan purpose (owner occupier or investor), repayment type (principal and interest, interest only, construction) and Loan to Value Ratio (LVR). Maximum LVR applies and includes Lenders' Mortgage Insurance and Great Southern Bank loan setup fees where applicable.
2 Great Southern Bank may withdraw or amend this offer at any time without notice. A change in your loan purpose, your repayment type or your loan product will permanently end your entitlement to the discount.
3 LVR means ‘Loan to Value Ratio’. It is the amount of your loan divided by the valuation of your property, calculated as a percentage. For example, if you apply for a loan of $400,000, which will be secured by a property valued at $500,000, your LVR is 80%. We calculate your LVR at the time we approve your loan and your discount won’t change because of changes to the LVR during the life of your loan.
