If you're paying off a mortgage, chances are you've asked yourself: Should I refinance my home loan? With interest rates always shifting, now might be the right time to take another look at your loan.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through how refinancing works, how much you could save, and how to estimate mortgage refinance benefits with confidence.
What Does It Mean to Refinance a Home Loan?
When you refinance your home loan, you replace your current mortgage with a new one—usually with better terms. You can refinance with the same lender or a new one.
People refinance to:
- Get a better interest rate
- Lower monthly repayments
- Switch from variable to fixed (or vice versa)
- Access equity for renovations or investment
- Consolidate debt into one repayment
It’s like giving your home loan a financial health check.
Why Refinancing Can Save You Thousands
Here’s a real example:
We helped Steph from Bayswater refinance a $1.1 million loan. She had 28 years left on her loan at 6.5% interest.
After reviewing her options, we found her a new lender offering 5.89%. That small rate drop saved her over $350 every month, or more than $4,000 per year.
Disclaimer: This example is for reference only. Interest rates vary. We help find the best option available at the time of your refinance.
Use a Mortgage Refinance Calculator to Estimate Your Savings
Want to know how much you could save?
You can use a mortgage refinance calculator to get a quick estimate. Just enter your:
- Current loan amount
- Interest rate
- Years remaining
- New estimated rate
The results can be surprising. Even a 0.5% drop in interest could equal thousands in savings each year.
Use a refinance calculator to test your savings. Even a small rate cut can have a big impact.
How Do Lenders Set Interest Rates?
Banks and lenders often adjust rates to attract new customers. Just like supermarkets run specials, banks sharpen their rates when they want more business.
If your loan hasn’t been reviewed in a while, you might not be on their best deal anymore. That’s where refinancing comes in—to keep lenders competitive and your rates sharp.
Think of it like your electricity bill. If you never compare, you often overpay.
