Impact on Your Mortgage
This calculator shows the impact of the latest rate cut from 3.85% to 3.60%. When the RBA reduces the cash rate, banks typically pass on some or all of the cut to their customers. This results in:
- Lower monthly repayments
- Reduced interest charges
- Opportunity to pay down principal faster
RBA's Current Outlook
The RBA Board remains focused on delivering price stability and full employment. The Board is cautious about the outlook and will be attentive to the data and the evolving assessment of risks. With inflation continuing to moderate and labour market conditions easing, the Board determined that a 25 basis point reduction was appropriate to support economic growth while maintaining price stability.
Making the Most of Rate Cuts
