Frequently asked questions about the a comparison rate calculator
What is a comparison rate?
A comparison rate includes the interest rate plus most fees and charges, expressed as a single percentage. It helps borrowers understand the actual cost of the loan.
Why is the comparison rate higher than the interest rate?
Because it factors in additional costs like loan setup fees, monthly service fees, or annual charges — not just the interest rate.
Does the comparison rate include all possible costs?
No — it includes most mandatory fees but doesn’t account for optional extras like redraw or early repayment fees. Always read the loan’s product disclosure statement and terms and conditions.
Is the lowest comparison rate always the best loan?
Not necessarily. Features like offset accounts or flexible repayments might justify a slightly higher rate. Compare holistically or speak to our team.

Yes — you can input different loan amounts, interest rates, terms, and fees to see how each option stacks up.
