Compare your current loan against a new rate, net of every switching cost. See your monthly saving, the exact break-even point, and what happens if you keep repayments the same.
Typical switching costs run $600 to $1,000: a discharge fee, government registration fees, and sometimes an application fee (often waived).
The drop in your required repayment over the same remaining term. The interest saving is larger, because a lower rate also shifts more of each repayment onto the principal.
The line starts below zero by your net switching cost, crosses zero at the break-even dot, and everything after that is pure saving.
Estimate only. Assumes both loans are principal-and-interest over the same remaining term at constant rates. Break costs on fixed loans are not included, and can be significant: check before switching a fixed loan. Results are not a quote, loan offer or pre-approval.
Banks reserve their sharpest rates for new customers and quietly leave existing ones on higher pricing. On most loans written more than two years ago, the gap is 0.3% or more, and the switching costs are recovered within months. That is what the break-even dot on the chart shows: everything to its right is money you keep.
Sometimes you do not even need to switch: presented with a genuine refinance comparison, many lenders suddenly find a better rate for you. Nathan runs that negotiation first, and manages the full refinance if they will not move. Either way it costs you nothing.
A free 30-minute call gets you the numbers lenders will actually approve, across 50+ of them.
