To estimate the costs of your home renovation loan, you’ll need to enter some basic details.
These are explained below:
- Borrowing Amount - The amount you’ll need to borrow based on your estimates for renovations. You can increase the amount you estimated by 10 per cent to account for any unplanned interruptions or issues that may occur during renovations.
- Interest Rate - The interest rate of the loan offer you want to calculate.
- Loan Term - The length of time you want to repay the loan. You can adjust this to see how longer or shorter terms affect both regular repayment amounts and the total interest paid over the term of the loan.
- Loan Fees - If the loan offer includes any upfront fees such as an establishment fee, you can include the amount to separate it from your regular repayment calculations.
This home renovation loan calculator uses amortisation when calculating interest and repayment amounts.
Amortisation is a more accurate calculation of repayments across the lifetime of a loan as it accounts for interest charges relative to the remaining loan balance, instead of using a fixed interest amount for each repayment.
How to fund your renovations
When it comes to funding your renovations you’ve got several options to choose from.
You may be able to use your own money (or at least a portion of it) or refinance an existing mortgage to release equity in your home.
Borrowers looking to finance home renovations will generally consider a home renovation loan or construction loan, depending on the scope of the project.
Personal loans (secured or unsecured) can also be used to finance your renovations, and are offered by the majority of lenders in New Zealand.
