Frequently Asked Questions

How does a 100% mortgage offset account save money? ▼

Interest on Australian mortgages is calculated daily on the net loan balance (Principal minus Offset balance). Money in your offset account directly reduces the amount of interest charged every single day.

Who pays the Medicare Levy Surcharge? ▼

Individuals earning above $97,000 (and families above $194,000) who do not hold qualifying private hospital cover pay an additional 1% to 1.5% Medicare Levy Surcharge.
