What is the Comparison Rate?

The comparison rate combines the interest rate AND most fees and charges into a single percentage, making it easier to compare loans. Australian lenders are legally required to display the comparison rate alongside the interest rate (National Consumer Credit Protection Act 2009).

Warning: The comparison rate is standardised on a $150,000 loan over 25 years. For your actual loan, the impact of fees will differ.
