What does this mean?

Understanding the estimate

Illustrative estimate only.
Negative equity protection

Australian reverse mortgages entered into from 18 September 2012 are subject to statutory negative equity protection. In general, this means the amount ultimately repayable cannot exceed the market value of the mortgaged property, subject to the applicable law and loan arrangements.

This calculator may still display a modelled loan balance that exceeds the projected property value so you can see the mathematical effect of the assumptions entered.

This calculator demonstrates how a reverse mortgage balance may grow using the assumptions entered. It does not determine eligibility, maximum borrowing, loan approval or suitability. Actual rates, fees, lender interest calculations, loan features and repayment outcomes can differ and variable rates can change over time. Property growth is uncertain and should not be relied upon as a forecast.
