Heard some home loan lingo but are unsure what it means? Find the answers, explained in easy to understand terms. No “bank-speak” allowed.
You can use our repayments calculator to estimate your repayments for a given loan and term.
When you apply for a home loan your Home Loan Specialist will give you a detailed breakdown of your repayments for your loan type and borrowing amount.
If the estimated repayment amount is more than you can afford, you could consider lowering the amount you wish to borrow or looking for a cheaper property. Expanding your property search to nearby suburbs may lead you to a hidden bargain.
Yes. At Great Southern Bank you can make extra repayments on your home loan at no extra cost.
Our variable rate home loans have unlimited extra repayments, while with our fixed rate home loans you can make up to $30,000 in extra repayments at no additional cost.
Making extra repayments can help you pay off your home loan sooner. With our clever tool, The Boost, you can set an amount between $0.01 and $5 to automatically transfer to your home loan account every time you use your debit card. You’d be surprised how these small amounts can really add up.

1 Discounts off the Basic Variable and Offset Variable Reference Rate are available to (a) new home loans with a minimum application amount of $100,000; or (b) switching or restructuring of the home loan you already have with us when it includes new borrowing of at least $10,000; for new home loan applications unconditionally approved on or after 13 November 2024. Published interest rates are inclusive of any discounts off the respective Reference Rates. Interest rates and discounts vary based on the loan purpose (owner occupier and investor), repayment type (principal and interest, interest only, construction) and Loan to Value Ratio (LVR). Maximum LVR applies and includes Lenders' Mortgage Insurance and Great Southern Bank loan setup fees where applicable.
2 Great Southern Bank may withdraw or amend this offer at any time without notice. A change in your loan purpose, your repayment type or your loan product will permanently end your entitlement to the discount.
3 LVR means ‘Loan to Value Ratio’. It is the amount of your loan divided by the valuation of your property, calculated as a percentage. For example, if you apply for a loan of $400,000, which will be secured by a property valued at $500,000, your LVR is 80%. We calculate your LVR at the time we approve your loan and your discount won’t change because of changes to the LVR during the life of your loan.
4 Fixed Rate loans are available to (a) new home loans with a minimum application amount of $100,000; or (b) switching or restructuring of existing home loans. Maximum Loan to Value Ratio applies and includes Lenders' Mortgage Insurance and Great Southern Bank loan setup fees where applicable.
5 On expiry of the fixed rate period, the loan reverts to the Basic Variable Reference Rate relevant to your loan purpose and repayment type which applies at the time of expiry.

The results from this calculator should be used as an indication only. Repayment is for principal and interest and is based on a 30-year loan term. Changes in interest rates, repayment frequency and loan term will affect the repayment and savings amounts. The rate you have entered may not necessarily be a rate available for new lending with Great Southern Bank.
Your contracted home loan repayments will be set to a monthly frequency, meaning you will need to meet the agreed repayment amount by the due date stated on your loan contract each month. To meet this minimum monthly amount, you can however make repayments weekly or fortnightly.
Fees and charges are payable. The calculations do not take into account fees, charges or other amounts that may be charged to your loan (such as establishment or monthly service fees or stamp duty). If you are borrowing more than 80% of the value of the property, Lenders Mortgage Insurance will apply. Any of these additional amounts will increase the repayments and decrease the savings under the loan.

What’s the difference between pre-approval and pre-qualify?
Think of pre-qualifying as the free sample you get at an ice-cream shop. There’s no commitment. You’re just discovering what’s on offer to you.
Pre-approval is when you’re serious about buying. You formally apply for a home loan and give us detailed information about your financial and employment situation. We also run a credit check to review your credit history. You’ll end up with a definitive amount that you can borrow so you can start making offers on properties.
