How it works

Mortgage repayments are calculated using the loan amortisation formula: M = P[r(1+r)^n]/[(1+r)^n–1], where P is the principal, r is the monthly interest rate, and n is the number of payments. Each payment covers interest plus a portion of principal.

Current rates

Interest rates vary by bank and term. Rates are sourced from major NZ banks. Use the rate comparison feature to see how different terms affect your payments. Most NZ banks use a ~6–6.5% stress test rate for lending decisions.
