Why is this simulator different?
Standard online calculators use simplified formulas that display fractional cents and assume standard monthly terms. This simulator replicates New Zealand bank rules (like ANZ and ASB) by rounding periodic payments to the nearest dollar and offering "Accelerated" frequencies (the Kiwi Mortgage Hack) which pay off your loan years faster.

⚠️ Because your deposit is under 20% (LVR > 80%), New Zealand banks will add an ongoing Low Equity Margin (LEM) of +0.75% p.a. to your interest rate.
* Dynamic Feature: In this simulator, the interest rate margin (LEM) is automatically removed as soon as your amortisation drops your LVR below 80%!
