What is a variable home loan?

A variable home loan means the interest rate that's applied to your home loan can change whenever your lender changes the rate. This means your minimum repayments decrease when interest rates go down, or increase when rates go up.

ANZ Simplicity PLUS is our basic variable home loan. It's a no frills loan that still gives you flexibility in how you manage your repayments.

Your home loan questions answered

Home loan interest rates can go up or down as the lending market changes. With a variable home loan, the interest rate you pay will change whenever your lender changes the rate.

 Your minimum repayment amount will go up if interest rates go up and go down if interest rates go down.

Find out more about fixed vs variable home loans.

 

   

Variable home loan interest rates will change whenever your lender changes the rate. This means your minimum repayment amount will go up or down depending on what the current interest rate applied by your lender is.

While variable home loans can make budgeting more challenging, and you should consider whether you can afford higher loan repayments if interest rates go up, variable home loans generally offer greater flexibility than fixed rate home loans.

With a variable home loan, you could make extra repayments to pay off your loan faster, choose your repayment frequency or make interest only repaymentsdisclaimerfor an agreed term (10 years maximum for residential investor loansdisclaimer). You could also be able to redrawdisclaimeryour extra repayments if you need to, or save on interest payable with an offset account.disclaimer

With a fixed home loan, making extra payments usually incurs a penalty. Find out more about fixed vs variable home loans.

 

Your loan repayments can be adjusted by ANZ accordingly. Do consider whether you can afford higher loan repayments if interest rates go up.

  

It’s not so much about whether a fixed or variable home loan is better than the other. Both offer different benefits, so it’s about which one is better for you, taking into account your particular circumstances, objectives and needs.

Fixed rate home loans provide more certainty because your interest rate and repayments are locked in for the duration. However, there can be less flexibility in making additional repayments, paying off the loan early and refinancing before the term is up.

On the other hand, variable rate home loans can provide the flexibility of making additional payments, redrawing when needed and paying off the loan early. However, variable rates go up and down, so there’s less certainty about your repayment amounts. Your minimum repayment amount will be lower when rates go down but it will also go up if rates increase, which can make budgeting more challenging.

If you can't decide between fixed and variable rates, you might want to consider splitting your loan. That way you can enjoy the benefits of both options. 

Learn more about the difference between variable and fixed home loans.

LVR stands for 'Loan to Value Ratio' and it's the amount you’re looking to borrow, calculated as a percentage of the value of the property you want to buy (as assessed by ANZ). For instance if you’re borrowing $400,000 to buy a $500,000 property, your LVR would be 80% (because $400,000 is 80% of $500,000).

LVR is important because it may affect your borrowing power. Generally, the lower the LVR the better, as it carries less risk for the lender. If your LVR is above 80% (that is, you're looking to borrow more than 80% of the value of the property you want to buy), you may need to pay Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI). This insurance protects the lender - ANZ, not you - if you default on your home loan and there’s a shortfall following the sale of the property. Generally speaking the higher your LVR, the more LMI will cost.

Learn more about ANZ LMI with our Key Fact Sheet (PDF) or read our article on Lenders Mortgage Insurance.

*Property value is ANZ's valuation of the security property and may be different to the price you pay for a property.

 

  

Interest is calculated based on the unpaid daily balance of your loan. For example, if you had a loan balance of $400,000 and your interest rate was 3% p.a., your interest charge would be $400,000 x 3% divided by 365 days = $32.87 for that day. For most ANZ home loans, interest is usually calculated daily and charged monthly. 

For details refer to the ANZ Consumer Lending Terms and Conditions (PDF) and your letter of offer.

  

A comparison rate is designed to help you work out the total cost of a home loan by building the known costs like up-front and ongoing fees into that rate. It doesn’t include things like government charges, redraw fees or fee waivers. 

You can use comparison rates to help you compare the cost of different home loans with similar features. When deciding which home loan is right for you, it’s important to think about what features each home loan offers, and how much these matter to you. Keep in mind that you may not necessarily pay the comparison rate that is advertised for your loan type.  This is because, for example, you may not pay all the fees and charges which the comparison rate includes.

  

If you choose interest only, the minimum payment amount on your loan will be lower during the interest only period because you are not required to repay any of the loan principal. You will have to repay the principal down the track and so you may end up paying more over the life of your loan. There may be additional restrictions on the amount you can borrow or loan type you can select if you choose to pay interest only.

Choosing to repay principal and interest means that, with each repayment, you're paying off interest charges as well as some of the loan principal.

Learn more about payment types.

  

Your Loan to Value Ratio (LVR) is the amount you’re looking to borrow, calculated as a percentage of the value of the property you want to buy*. For instance if you’re borrowing $400,000 to buy a $500,000 property, your LVR would be 80% (because $400,000 is 80% of $500,000).

The calculator will show your estimated LVR rounded up to one decimal point. For instance if your estimated LVR is calculated as 80.01%, it will be rounded up to 80.1%. Having an LVR of 80% or less (and for some loans 70% or less) means you could access some of ANZ’s higher discounts, and may be able to avoid paying Lenders Mortgage Insurance (which protects the lender if you default on your loan). Learn more about ANZ Lenders Mortgage Insurance with our Key Fact Sheet (PDF).

Generally, the lower your LVR the better. This is because from the lender’s perspective, a lower LVR carries less risk. Plus, a lower LVR means you’ll have more equity in your home from the start. Find out more about LVR and what it means for your home loan.

*Property value is ANZ's valuation of the security property and may be different to the price you pay for a property.

   

To estimate home loan repayments with a new home loan

  1. Enter the details of the type of home loan you’re looking for then choose an ANZ rate from the interest rate drop down. 
  2. You can ‘Add a new scenario’ and choose a different ANZ home loan rate to compare estimated repayments for different scenarios side by side.

To compare current and future estimated repayments based on a different rate

  1. Enter the details of your existing home loan. If you have a redraw balance on your loan, add that amount on top of your existing loan amount. For instance if you have a loan balance of $600,000 plus a $50,000 redraw amount, enter $650,000 as your loan amount. Any redraw balance will have an effect on your estimated repayments.
  2. Choose ‘Enter my own interest rate’ and enter your current interest rate to see your approximate current repayments. (To check your current interest rate, log in to ANZ Internet Banking and click on your home loan account, or in the ANZ mobile app tap your home loan account and go to 'View home loan details’.) 
  3. Tap ‘Add a new scenario’ and either choose an ANZ rate from the drop down menu or enter your own rate to see estimated repayments based on the different rate.
  4. Compare your current and estimated new repayment for a different scenario to see the difference.
  

The index rate is a benchmark interest rate set by ANZ. ANZ offers discounts off the index rate, which are included in the interest rates shown above (based on your Loan to Value Ratio).

The estimated repayment amount does not include any fees or charges.

If a Variable Rate Loan is selected, the interest rate will be subject to change throughout the term of the Loan, which can impact on repayment amounts.

Results are based on approximate amortised scheduled repayments and do not take into account interest rate changes or other events that may change repayment amounts on a loan.

For fixed rate loans, once the fixed rate period expires, the loan reverts to a standard variable rate loan and repayment amounts will change.

For interest only loans, once the interest only period expires, the loan will revert to the applicable variable principal and interest rate for the remainder of the loan term (unless another interest only period is taken). At the end of the interest only period, minimum repayment amounts may increase to cover principal and interest. Interest only loans are not for everyone and you should consider if this is the right strategy for you.

Where a custom fixed or interest only rate has been selected, once the fixed or interest only period expires, the loan reverts to a standard variable rate loan with principal and interest repayments. In calculating these repayments, the repayment calculator will use the standard variable rate that most closely aligns with the Loan to Value Ratio (LVR) implied by the custom rate selected.

Interest rates are current as at  and are subject to change.

ANZ Home Loans are available for periods between of at least 1 year and up to 30 years in duration.
