Only the fees you enter are included — a fee left out cannot show up in the answer. In the Australia, an advertised rate is often "representative", meaning most successful applicants are offered it rather than everyone.

How this is worked out

The rate at which the present value of every repayment equals the money actually received.

What this assumes

A calculator is only as good as what it leaves out. These are the assumptions built into the result above.

  • Repayments are equal and made on schedule.
  • Only the fees you enter are included. A fee left out cannot show up in the answer.
  • The rate is fixed for the term.
  • A lender’s advertised APR is often "representative", meaning most applicants are offered it — not everyone.
