I want to pay off my home loan faster
5 simple strategies to get you there sooner:
- Choose the right rate type for your needs
- Consider principal and interest repayments
- Pay extra payments and more frequently
- You may save on interest if an offset is possible
- Look at setting a shorter home loan term.
Set up offset
You could use your savings to help reduce the interest you'll pay with an offset account. Use offset with an applicable variable loan.
Make extra repayments
By making extra repayments, up to $30,0001 on a fixed rate loan, you could shave years off your home loan.
Compare interest rates
Fixed rates tend to be lower than variable ones, but it's more important to choose the right loan for your needs.

For fixed rate loans taken up prior to 18 August 2019, customers can make prepayments of up to the $10,000 prepayment threshold in each 12-month period without break cost or fees applying. Prepayment break costs are explained in Things You Should Know About Break Costs.
