Offset Account & Extra Repayment Savings Calculator
See what money in an offset account and extra repayments actually save you. Both reduce interest, but they work differently - an offset keeps the money accessible while extra repayments reduce the debt itself.
Frequently asked questions
Is an offset better than making extra repayments?
The interest saving is nearly identical. The difference is access and tax: offset money stays yours and can be withdrawn without affecting deductibility, while redrawing an extra repayment is treated as new borrowing.
Is the offset worth an annual package fee?
At 6.5%, a $395 annual fee is covered by roughly $6,100 held in offset. Below that balance the fee costs more than the offset saves.
