Split your loan between a fixed and a variable rate, then see the blended repayment and how it shifts if the variable portion moves.
What a split loan estimates
A split loan divides your mortgage into two parts: a portion fixed for a set term, and a portion left on a variable rate. The calculator above works each part as its own principal-and-interest loan, at its own rate, over the same term, then adds them together. You get the total monthly repayment, what each portion contributes, and a weighted blended rate so you can see where the headline sits.
What drives the number
Two levers do most of the work: how much you fix, and the gap between the two rates. The fixed portion buys certainty — it does not move when the cash rate does. The variable portion keeps the flexibility most lenders only attach to variable lending: an offset account, redraw, and unlimited extra repayments. The stress field lets you push the variable rate up or down and see how much of your repayment is exposed — because only the variable part moves, a heavier fixed weighting dampens the swing. What the tool cannot price is the trade-off behind it: fixed-rate break costs if you exit early, and the features you give up by locking too much away. Those are policy questions, and they differ by lender.
Use it as a starting point
Treat the split as a structural decision, not a rate bet. The right ratio depends on how much certainty you need, how much you intend to pay down, and which lender's fixed-rate terms actually suit you. Book a strategy session and we will work the split against your real plan.
