📘 About the Home Loan Balance Transfer Calculator

A balance transfer moves your outstanding home loan to another lender at a lower rate. You save interest every month, but pay a processing fee, legal and valuation charges and sometimes stamp duty.

As a rule of thumb, a rate cut of 0.5% or more with 10+ years left is usually worth it. This calculator gives the exact net saving.

❓ Frequently asked questions

When is a home loan balance transfer worth it?

When the net saving after all costs is clearly positive — typically a rate difference of at least 0.25–0.5% with many years left on the loan.

Should I ask my bank first?

Yes. Many banks will reduce your rate (a 'conversion' or 'repricing') for a small fee, which may beat switching.

Does a balance transfer affect my credit score?

A new loan enquiry causes a small, temporary dip; closing the old loan on time and paying the new one is positive.
