How this is calculated

We compare two amortising loans at the same balance + remaining term. The monthly repayment formula is the standard P&I model: M = P · r · (1+r)^n / ((1+r)^n − 1), where P is the balance, r is the monthly rate (annual ÷ 12), and n is the months remaining. Total saving subtracts your one-off switch costs from the cumulative monthly saving over the remaining term.

What this calc doesn’t model: potential cashback offers from the new lender (which can offset switch costs); LMI if your equity is now under 80% (which would push the calc the other way); and lender-specific package fees (~$395/yr on some wealth-package products). A broker can fold these in for your specific scenario.
