New South Wales Mortgage Calculator guide
The New South Wales mortgage calculator helps buyers and refinancers across the state estimate monthly payments with local council rates, insurance, and LMI. Sydney and regional NSW have varying property prices—we prefill AUD $900,000, 20% down, and a 6.2% rate. Council rates (council tax) are modeled as 0.4% of the property value; adjust for your council. Stamp duty applies on purchase—use a stamp duty calculator for that.
LMI (lender’s mortgage insurance) applies when borrowing more than 80% of the property value. We model it as PMI in the calculator. Strata levies for apartments can be entered in the HOA field. Extra payments and biweekly schedules help you pay down principal faster and reduce LMI duration when starting below 20% equity.
The amortization table and charts show how your payment breaks down. All calculations run client-side. Install the PWA for offline use during property inspections.
