How we calculate Home Loan Finder Scores

What different scores mean

9+

Excellent

These home loans offer low costs, coupled with a host of features, giving the best overall value.

7+

Great

These home loans may have slightly higher interest rates or fewer features but overall, a competitive offering.

5+

Standard

Usually the home loans would offer above average rates. They may still include some competitive features.

0+

Basic

Higher costs and/or fewer features.

At first glance, a redraw facility and an offset account look similar. You put extra cash in them and then pay less interest. If you need the cash, you pull it out. But there are differences.

What is a redraw facility?

If you make extra repayments into your mortgage, a redraw facility allows you to take that money out again later when you need it. While the money sits in your mortgage, it lowers the amount of your principal and reduces the interest you pay.

What is an offset account?

You can save money in an offset account, which is like a bank account attached to your home loan. This money reduces the interest you pay while it's in the account, so you pay more off the principal and repay the mortgage faster, but the money is easy to access whenever you need it.

Is redraw better than an offset account?

Both features give you the ability to pay less interest on your mortgage. However, an offset account gives you much more control over your money because it's functionally like a bank account. Lenders often impose restrictions or fees on your redraw. They can't do that with an offset.

Here's a deeper look into how they compare:

How a redraw facility works

• Your minimum monthly loan repayments are $3,000.
• However, you pay $3,200 each month for 6 months, which equals $1,200 in extra repayments.
• A redraw facility allows you to access that extra $1,200 if you need to.

What are the risks of redraw?

Many redraw facilities will come with additional fees for withdrawing and depositing money. There may also be restrictions on how much and how often you can redraw in any given period.

When you place your money into redraw, it's also technically now the bank's money. They have terms and conditions attached to your loan, and those T&Cs could restrict how much access you have to your funds – for instance, if you default on your loan (miss a payment), the bank could restrict access to your redraw until you're back on top of your repayments.

Does money in redraw reduce repayments?

No, placing money in redraw or offset will not reduce your monthly repayments. Instead, both a redraw facility and an offset account allow you to use your savings to reduce the interest you pay on your loan. This may allow you to pay off your home loan sooner, because you're paying less interest and more principal each month.

Find home loans with no minimum redraw

Finder survey: How many Australians understand how offset accounts work?

How an offset account works

• You owe $600,000 on your home loan.
• You save $20,000 in your offset account.
• Your lender only charges interest on $580,000.

If you need to spend that $20,000, then you're back to $600,000 and you'll pay more interest again.

Use our offset calculator and try it for yourself.

Offset account vs redraw facility: Which one is better?

Both an offset and redraw will save you a similar amount of interest, so there are other things to be aware of when choosing which to use.

An offset account gives you greater flexibility and control over your cash while offering the same benefits as a redraw. For instance, if you have $10,000 and you're trying to decide whether to make an extra repayment with the potential to redraw later, or to place that $10,000 in an offset account, both options will save you the same amount of interest on your home loan.

The main thing to consider is what you really want from your home loan.

Paying less interest.

The winner: Both.

Both a redraw facility and an offset account will save you around the same amount of interest.

For flexibility and control.

The winner: Offset account.

An offset account gives you much more control over your money. There can be more restrictions on making extra repayments and redraw. With an offset account, it's your money in a separate account so there's much more freedom.

For keeping it simple.

The winner: Redraw facility.

Redraw allows you to set and forget your extra repayments, and only pull out funds via redraw in an emergency.

For maximising investment interest deductions.

The winner: Offset account.

If you are a property investor with an interest-only loan and you have an offset account, you can doubly maximise your tax deductions.

Expert insight

"Redraw facilities will often 'quarantine' your next monthly repayment. For example if you deposit $5,000 into your loan, and next repayment is $3,000, your redraw balance will only be $2,000. This is one of the differences with offset, where you will save the interest on the $5,000 but still have access to the full $5,000. Some Loans offer free redraw while others charge a fee and have a minimum redraw amount – so it's important to check the loan conditions.."

What are the tax implications of using redraw or offset?

There are tax benefits for investors using an offset account. If you turned your home into an investment property and bought a new home later, your existing mortgage would become an investment mortgage. In this scenario, you would be better off having more debt in your investment loan and a smaller loan for your new property (which is now your home).

This is because interest charged on investment loans is tax-deductible but the interest on your owner-occupier loan is not. If you made extra repayments on your home loan before turning it into an investment, the loan would be smaller. You've reduced the amount of debt you can use to reduce your tax bill.

But if you'd avoided making extra repayments and instead saved the money in an offset account, you could pull it out and use it to pay off your new loan. Your investment loan debt would be bigger now, but it would be tax-deductible. The tax office won't let you do this with extra repayments even if you can redraw them.

What is Finder Score?

The Finder Score crunches 7,000 home loans across 120+ lenders. It takes into account the product's interest rate, fees and features, as well as the type of loan eg investor, variable, fixed rate - this gives you a simple score out of 10.

To provide a Score, we compare like-for-like loans. So if you're comparing the best home loans for cashback, you can see how each home loan stacks up against other home loans with the same borrower type, rate type and repayment type. We also take into consideration the amount of cashback offered when calculating the Score so you can tell if it's really worth it.
