Boat Loan Amortisation Calculator
The following amortisation graphs detail month-by-month data on the progress of the proposed loan. The first chart below examines the reducing loan balance over the course of the finance contract term. The second graph illustrates the portion of each monthly repayment allocated to payment of interest vs principal reduction.
How to use our Boat Loan Repayment Calculator
Our Boat Loan Repayment Calculator helps you estimate repayments for boat finance before you apply, so you can plan a budget that suits your lifestyle and compare different loan terms, interest rates and deposit options. It is important because small changes to the interest rate or loan term can materially change your monthly repayment and the total interest paid over the life of the loan.
How to complete the calculator for the best estimate
1. Purchase Price
Enter the total purchase price of the boat in Australian dollars as a whole number only, with no commas or decimal points. For a more realistic result, consider whether you want to include other costs you may finance, such as stamp duty, registration, insurance and accessories, where applicable.
2. Deposit or Trade-in Value
If you have cash savings or a trade-in, enter that amount as a whole number. A larger deposit generally reduces the amount you need to borrow, which can reduce repayments and total interest.
3. Term of Loan (Years)
Select the number of years you want to repay the loan over. A longer term usually lowers repayments, but often increases the total interest cost across the loan.
4. Interest Rate (Per Annum)
Choose an indicative annual interest rate for the simulation. Use a conservative rate if you are unsure, and consider testing multiple rates to understand best and worst case affordability. Your actual rate may differ based on lender policy and your personal circumstances.
5. Calculate
Select calculate to generate your estimate.
How to interpret the results
Review the estimated repayment amount and the amortisation information. The reducing balance chart shows how the loan balance may fall over time. The interest versus principal chart shows how early repayments typically include a higher interest portion, with more principal repayment later in the term.
