Disclaimer & Not Financial Advice

Please read this carefully before using any information or calculators on this website.

⚠️ Important — Not Financial Advice

The information, calculators, and content on offsetcalculator.com.au are provided for general informational and educational purposes only. Nothing on this website constitutes financial advice, investment advice, tax advice, legal advice, or any other form of professional advice. You should not rely on any information on this site to make financial decisions without first seeking independent professional advice.

1. General Information Only

All content published on offsetcalculator.com.au — including articles, blog posts, guides, and calculator outputs — is intended to provide general information about mortgage concepts, offset accounts, and home loan strategies in Australia. This content is educational in nature and is not tailored to your individual financial situation, objectives, needs, or circumstances.

Before acting on any information found on this website, you should consider its appropriateness to your own situation and seek independent advice from a qualified professional.

2. Calculator Results Are Estimates Only

The mortgage calculators on this website — including the Offset Calculator, Repayment Calculator, and Refinance Calculator — produce estimates only. These estimates are based on the figures you enter and simplified mathematical models. They do not account for:

  • Your specific loan terms, conditions, and features
  • Fees, charges, and costs associated with your loan
  • Changes in interest rates over time
  • Lender-specific calculation methods (some lenders calculate interest differently)
  • Offset account terms and conditions that vary between lenders
  • Tax implications of your financial decisions
  • Government charges, stamp duty, or other costs
  • Your personal financial circumstances, income, or obligations

The results shown by our calculators should be used as a starting point for your own research, not as the basis for any financial decision. Always verify figures directly with your lender or a licensed mortgage broker.

3. Not a Substitute for Professional Advice

We strongly recommend that before making any financial decision — including changing your mortgage repayments, refinancing, withdrawing from an offset account, or making investment decisions — you consult with one or more of the following qualified professionals:

  • Licensed mortgage broker — for advice on your specific home loan
  • Financial adviser — for advice on your overall financial plan (look for an AFSL holder or authorised representative)
  • Accountant or tax professional — for advice on tax implications
  • Solicitor or conveyancer — for legal advice related to property

You can find licensed financial advisers on the ASIC Financial Advisers Register and licensed mortgage brokers through the Mortgage & Finance Association of Australia (MFAA).

5. Information May Be Out of Date

Financial regulations, interest rates, tax laws, and lending policies change frequently in Australia.
