Debt Consolidation Savings Calculator

See how combining multiple debts into one loan could change your repayments.

Our Debt Consolidation Calculator helps you compare your current debts with a consolidated loan scenario. Enter your balances, interest rates and repayments to get an estimate of how your overall repayment position may change.

It can help you understand whether combining eligible debts into one loan may be worth reviewing.

What is debt consolidation?

Debt consolidation involves combining multiple debts into a single loan.

This may include eligible personal loans, car loans or credit card balances. Some borrowers also consider consolidating eligible debts into their home loan.

The aim is usually to simplify repayments and review the overall cost of the debt.

A lower repayment does not always mean a lower total cost. Extending short-term debt over a longer loan term can increase the amount of interest paid over time.

What does the debt consolidation calculator compare?

The calculator can help you review:

  • your current debt balances
  • current interest rates
  • existing repayments
  • your combined monthly repayments
  • an estimated consolidated repayment
  • the potential difference in repayments
  • the estimated interest cost over the selected loan term

The result is an estimate only. Your actual options will depend on your financial circumstances and lender requirements.

Which debts may be consolidated?

Depending on the lender and your circumstances, debt consolidation may include eligible:

  • credit card balances
  • personal loans
  • car loans
  • store finance
  • other consumer debts

Not every debt can or should be consolidated.

The interest rate, remaining term, fees and total cost of each debt should be considered before making changes.

Can debt be consolidated into a home loan?

Some homeowners may be able to consolidate eligible debts into their home loan.

This can reduce the interest rate applied to some debts and may lower the immediate monthly repayment.

There can also be important trade-offs.

A credit card or personal loan that would otherwise be repaid over a few years could remain outstanding for much longer when added to a mortgage. This can increase the total interest paid even where the home loan rate is lower.

Property equity, borrowing capacity, lender criteria and the purpose of the debt can also affect the options available.

Why use a debt consolidation calculator?

A debt consolidation calculator can help you see the difference between your current repayment structure and a proposed consolidated loan.

It may help you compare:

  • monthly cash flow
  • total repayments
  • loan terms
  • interest costs
  • the effect of spreading debt over a longer period

This can give you a clearer starting point before reviewing your options with a mortgage broker.

Check your debt consolidation scenario

Enter your existing debts and a proposed loan structure to compare the estimated repayments and overall loan position.

A mortgage broker can review the figures in more detail and explain which lending options may be available based on your circumstances.
