When you are thinking about buying, refinancing, or simply planning your financial future, a few simple numbers can change everything. Diamond Lending online calculators are built to give borrowers instant clarity. Our calculators are practical, varied, and easy to access, making them a great first step before you pick up the phone or book an appointment.
Why do Online Calculators Matter?
Financial decisions are easier when you can model outcomes. A well-designed calculator helps remove the guesswork by turning abstract concepts (interest rates, loan terms, taxes) into concrete figures you can work with. Use calculators to:
- Check borrowing power before starting your property search.
- Compare repayment options (monthly vs fortnightly vs weekly).
- See the effect of extra repayments or lump-sum contributions.
- Work out hidden costs like stamp duty, buying/selling fees, and comparison rates.
Diamond Lending groups many of these tools on one page so you can move quickly from “how much can I borrow?” to “what will my repayments look like?” without hunting for separate resources.
Most Useful Calculators
Diamond Lending offers a broad list of calculators that cover the most common homeowner and borrower questions. Key tools you’ll find include:
Loan Repayments Calculator: estimate monthly repayments for different loan amounts, terms and interest rates.
Borrowing Power Calculators (Gross and Net): quickly estimate how much lenders may allow based on your income and expenses.
Stamp Duty Calculator: important for budgeting upfront property purchase costs.
Extra Repayment and Lump Sum Calculators: model the time and interest you save with additional payments.
Mortgage Refinance and Comparison Calculators: test whether refinancing (or switching loan types) will save you money.
Rent vs Buy Calculator: helps compare long-term financial impacts of renting versus owning.
Beyond these, the site includes calculators for offset accounts, interest-only loans, savings goals, income annualisation, car loans, and even reverse mortgages.
How to use these calculators effectively?
- Start with realistic inputs. Use your actual payslips, bank statements and current bills rather than “round” guesses. This avoids wildly optimistic borrowing estimates.
- Run multiple scenarios. Try conservative and optimistic cases to see how sensitive your plan is to change.
- Include upfront costs. Don’t forget stamp duty, legal fees and inspection costs when planning how much you need to save. Diamond Lending’s property buying cost and stamp duty calculators make this easier.
- Model extra repayments early. Even modest extra payments can make a big difference over 20–30 years, the extra-repayment and lump-sum calculators show this clearly.
Use calculators as a guide, not a guarantee. Results are estimated. Final loan amounts and rates depend on lender assessments, credit history and documentation. If you like the numbers, the next step is to speak to a broker.
Real benefits of using Diamond Lending’s calculators
Putting these calculators to work gives you three practical advantages:
- Confidence in negotiations. Knowing approximate repayments and borrowing limits prevents overbidding and keeps your purchase within reach.
- Faster decisions. When you can instantly compare refinance vs keep, variable vs fixed, or fortnightly vs monthly repayments, decisions that used to take hours are much simpler.
- Better conversations with brokers. Bringing calculator outputs into a meeting helps the broker understand your priorities quickly and tailor lender options that match your goals. Diamond Lending explicitly encourages using their calculators before booking a consultation.
