Mortgage Calculators

 There are honestly SO many incredible mortgage calculators. 

I've provided a list of the ones I've used. Let me know if you find any others that are useful. 

Regardless of what mortgage calculator you use -- do your research, sort out our consumer spending, be better at clean banking and ensure you've done your due diligence of the house you're wanting to purchase (builder's report, LIM report, council docs, valuation etc). 


  • Sorted.org.nz -- this is the one that my mortgage broker used and it gave us several pieces of information -- interest rates, loan repayments etc and it also showed different options too

  • Settled.govt.nz -- this entire website is epic and has heaps of useful information for first home buyers. Definitely check this out! Plus their calculators are cool too. 

  • Westpac -- this one is good because you can enter what deposit and information you currently have and it gives you an idea of what the loan repayments would be

  • SBS -- all three of SBS's calculators are helpful and show a range of different information. 

  • Kiwibank -- this one is epic because it gives you a quick idea of how much deposit you'll need for the new LVR (loan to value ratio) changes -- 20% deposit or more is always better security if poss.

Part 7 - Note To Self

Be onto it.  Know where your money is coming ANG going.  Know your debts.  Pay them. Whatever method you can.  If you're not sure - contact the credit rating companies.  They'll straight up just tell you.  Then you can avoid finding an overdue $9 payment from TWO YEARS AGO that is now putting a red underlined mark under my name and a big ole NOPE on the risk-o-meter for the banks. Ugh.  I worked so hard to get here and am being screwed over by a few things:  * A lack of communication from the company. They should have called me about the outstanding payment. They say they sent two emails back in 2019. I cannot find them. I had no recollection that I had an overdue payment. Had I known... I would have paid the $9!  * The company seem to be refusing to remove this mark from my name on the credit score. This is beyond frustrating.  * The banks see me as a risk because of a missed payment from 2019. Of $9.  * My credit score is currentl...

Continuing to break the poverty mindset

Whuuuu.  I'm still processing the latest thought patterns.  We're going to an Open Home on Sunday. 52 Buchanan. Beautiful big house. Flashy, as Crystel puts it.  She wants to live in a flashy house.  I get it.  We've both been through some crazy trauma and deserve good things.  But inside me is also this niggling thought that makes me think I don't deserve to. That thought is holding me back.  I find it hard to see myself in a fancy, flashy, new house.  I prefer to see myself in a villa.  Part of that could be conditioning while growing up. Maybe it's to do with my preconceived notions and ideas about wealth.  Maybe I still have more work to do.  At present - my list of house options:  52 Buchanan Street Ōpōtiki * 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms * newer house * Not much section * Pizza oven * Big garage * Big white gates * Open plan living and kitchen 32 Potts Ave * 2 bedrooms, 2 toilets, 1 shower over bath * Co...
