How to Use the Loan Calculator

Follow these five steps to get the most out of the Breezy loan calculator and arrive at a confident borrowing decision before you apply.

1

Enter Your Loan Amount

Drag the loan amount slider to the figure you are considering borrowing, anywhere from $2,100 to $70,000. The calculator automatically assigns the correct interest rate based on which tier your amount falls into. You will see the rate update immediately in the rate display below the slider.

If your required amount is close to a tier boundary — for example $14,500 versus $15,000 — try modelling both amounts. Moving to the next tier can reduce your interest rate from 34.9% to 29.9% p.a., which may more than offset the slightly higher principal.
2

Select Your Preferred Term

Drag the term slider to your preferred repayment period between 4 and 24 months. Watch how the monthly repayment changes as you adjust the term. A shorter term produces a higher monthly repayment but a lower total interest cost. A longer term reduces each individual repayment but increases the total interest paid over the life of the loan.

A good starting point is to find the longest term where you can still comfortably afford the monthly repayment. Then consider whether you can stretch to a shorter term and use the interest saving to your advantage.
3

Review All Five Output Figures

Do not focus only on the monthly repayment. Review all five figures the calculator produces: the monthly repayment, the establishment fee, the total monthly fees, the total interest, and most importantly the total amount payable. The total amount payable is the single most useful figure — it tells you exactly how much you will have paid by the time the loan is fully settled.

The monthly repayment figure shown is the principal plus interest component. It does not represent the monthly fee separately. Both are included in the total amount payable figure.
4

Compare Multiple Scenarios

Model at least two or three scenarios before settling on your final loan parameters. For example, compare a $10,000 loan over 12 months against the same amount over 18 months. Then compare both against a $15,000 loan at the lower rate tier. The small amount of time spent comparing scenarios can result in a meaningfully lower total cost of borrowing.

Take a note of the total amount payable for each scenario rather than just comparing monthly repayments. Two loans with similar monthly repayments can have significantly different total costs if their terms differ.
5

Apply When the Scenario Fits Your Budget

Once you have found a loan amount and term where the monthly repayment fits comfortably within your regular budget, proceed to the online application. Remember that the calculator provides estimates — your confirmed repayment amount, interest rate, and all fees will be set out precisely in your loan contract before you sign and are not charged until you choose to proceed.

Using the calculator does not create an application and has no impact on your credit file. You can model as many scenarios as you like before committing to apply.
Output Explained

What Each Calculator Output Means

The calculator produces five distinct figures. Here is a plain-language explanation of what each one represents and how to use it.

Monthly Repayment

The estimated amount you pay each month covering the principal and interest components only. This figure is calculated using the standard reducing balance formula. The monthly fee is a separate charge on top of this figure but is included in the total amount payable.

Establishment Fee

The one-time fee of 20% of the loan amount charged at commencement. It does not change regardless of the term you choose, because it is based on the loan amount not the term. A $10,000 loan always carries a $2,000 establishment fee.

Total Monthly Fees

The combined total of all monthly fees charged over the full loan term. Calculated as 4% of the loan amount per month multiplied by the number of months in the term. This figure increases with longer terms because more monthly fees are charged.

Total Interest

The total interest charged over all repayment periods. This is calculated on the reducing balance — as you repay principal each month, the interest charge for the next period is calculated on a smaller outstanding amount. Both the term and the interest rate affect this figure.

Total Amount Payable

The most important figure. This is the sum of the principal, all interest, the establishment fee, and all monthly fees — everything you will pay from the first repayment to the last. Use this figure when comparing two different loan scenarios to determine which option actually costs less.

Common Questions

Loan Calculator FAQs

The calculator produces illustrative estimates based on the standard Breezy interest rates and fee structure. The monthly repayment is calculated using the standard reducing balance formula. Actual repayment amounts and total costs are confirmed precisely in your loan contract before you sign. The calculator is designed to help you budget and compare scenarios, not to provide a binding quote.
No. Using the loan calculator does not constitute a loan application and has no impact on your credit file. Breezy does not conduct any credit inquiry until the final stage of the formal approval process. You can model as many scenarios as you like on the calculator without any consequence for your credit score.
Breezy uses a tiered interest rate structure where the applicable rate is determined by the loan amount. Loans from $2,100 to $4,999 attract 39.9% per annum. Loans from $5,000 to $14,999 attract 34.9% per annum. Loans from $15,000 to $70,000 attract 29.9% per annum. The calculator automatically applies the correct rate for the amount shown on the slider, so the rate updates whenever you cross a tier boundary.
The monthly repayment figure shown in the calculator represents the principal and interest component of your repayment. The monthly fee of 4% of the loan amount is a separate ongoing charge. Both the interest repayment and the monthly fee are included in the total amount payable figure. When reviewing the results, always refer to the total amount payable rather than the monthly repayment alone for a complete cost picture.
The right term depends on your budget. A shorter term results in a higher monthly repayment but a lower total cost because fewer interest periods and monthly fees are charged. A longer term reduces each individual repayment, making it more manageable month to month, but increases the total cost over the life of the loan. Use the calculator to find the shortest term where the monthly repayment still sits comfortably within your budget after accounting for all other regular expenses.
The calculator models your loan to its full scheduled term. To estimate early repayment savings, compare the total amount payable at your intended term against a shorter term. For example, if you are planning to repay a 24-month loan at month 12, the total cost of the 12-month scenario on the calculator gives a reasonable approximation of what you would pay. There is no early repayment fee on any Breezy loan. See the Flexible Personal Loans page for more detail on early repayment.
